I will continue this conversation on the boost-build list then.
IMO it should stay on this list. The topic is about users being able to discover, download, and install packages for use with Visual C++, and IIUC would Microsoft's build engine rather than Boost.Build. The boost-build list would be a good resource for questions about how we currently build and test on VC++, but at least for the moment I'd rather keep discussion on this list. There are some policy questions best rhandled on the main list. For example, * While we might want help packaging maintainers, do we actually want to host package management on Boost? If so, which package management tools? There are a number of popular ones out in the wild. * How does NuGet relate to Ryppl? AFAIK, NuGet is just for Windows/Visual Studio users. So while we wish NuGet well, our long term interest is in something much broader than any one platform and much broader that just package management. --Beman
