Modular Boost C++ Libraries Request #186
Comments
Hi, I will take 1.
Boost.Redis integration test use an external server that was shut down and for which I have no replacement yet. This might result in some integrations tests in this file failing. If this happens to you just mark me in the PR and will check if you can just disable them for merging and I will catch up later. Thanks. |
We are in the process of making B2 build changes to all of the B2 build files
to support "modular" consumption of the Boost Libraries by users. See this list
post for some details: https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2024/01/255704.php
The process requires making a variety of changes to make each Boost library
independent of the super-project structure. But the changes do not remove the
super-project structure or the comprehensive Boost release. The changes make
solely make it possible, optionally, for users, like package manages, to easily
consume libraries individually.
Generally the changes include:
super-project boostroot location.
Some examples of such changes:
We are asking how you would like us to handle the changes. We would prefer if
you allow the owners of the Boost.org GitHub project to make changes to B2
build files, as needed, to accomplish the changes. But understand
that you may want to manage the proposed changes yourself.
We previously sent emails to all known maintainers to fill out a form with their
preference. We are contacting you in this issue as we have not gotten a response
to that email. You can see the ongoing responses for that form and the responses
to these issues here https://github.com/users/grafikrobot/projects/1/views/6
We are now asking if you can reply directly to this issue to indicate your
preference of handling the changes. Please supply a response to this question
and close the issue (so that we can verify you are a maintainer).
How would you like the build changes to be processed?
Also please indicate any special instructions you want us to consider. Or other
information you want us to be aware of.
Thanks you, René
