Re: [Boost-users] Fix for annoying bug / library maintenance

You could do a pull request for the interval library on the 'develop' branch. If the maintainer of 'interval' does not respond to that, then Boost could look for a co-maintainer who would do so. Also I suggest that you add an interval test as part of your pull request that shows the bug and that also shows that your fix is working.

I succeeded in cloning the interval library and applying my patch locally. But I was not successful in running the regression tests; bjam says: link.jam: No such file or directory ..\..\..\..\Jamroot:154: in modules.load ERROR: rule "link-directory" unknown in module "Jamfile". C:/build/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/build\project.jam:311: in load-jamfile C:/build/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/build\project.jam:64: in load <snip> I was hoping that I could really provide a test for what my patch fixes. By searching some forums I found out that this is probably due to the process of moving Boost from SVN to Git, and I'm not sure whether or not it makes sense that I fetch the most recent snapshot (from Git? or SVN?) of Boost for the regression test run. Or do you think that I should just make the pull request on just the code change? (The fix is quite simple...) Thanks, Filip
