Dear Boost and ASIO communities.
The formal review of VinÃcius dos Santos Oliveira's Boost.Http library starts today, August 7th and ends on Sunday August 16th.
The source code is build using CMake, but Boost.Build is in the pipeline (already done for documentation.)
I think that per http://www.boost.org/community/reviews.html the above should have blocked formal review. If a library is reviewed, it normally means the author believes it's to be ready for Boost, which certainly is not the case if one cannot run the test using the current tools.
I have to disagree with this.
a) The above cited link doesn't specify support for boost build as a requirement.
Maybe; though the library as submitted does not follow directory structure guidelines either.
b) No one complained during the review that lack of support for boost build inhibited them from reviewing the submission.
Right; some reviewers also stated they did not try the library at all.
c) The fact that support for boost build may be required for library acceptance doesn't imply that it should be necessary for review.
Certainly, the phrase "The library must come reasonably close to meeting the Guidelines below." is somewhat ambiguous. - Volodya
