But we still have too many libraries failing across the board on master:
accumulators interprocess numeric/ublas pool proto spirit/repository spirit/test tr1
TR1 is now deprecated, and again hasn't been changed in a long time - the main failures seem to be caused by changes to Boost.Random (or possibly std::random) so that it is now no longer TR1 compliant. Someone would have to rewrite it to use TR1-compatible random number classes perhaps culled from an old version of Boost, frankly I just don't see the point. The lib should probably be removed from Boost at some point.
We went back and forth a bit, and decided to remove TR1 after 1.56.0 shipped. What exactly needs to be done? * Remove the .gitmodules entry. * Remove the status/Jamfile.v2 entry. * Remove the libs/maintainer.txt entry. * Update http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/ Anything else? --Beman
