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.
b) No one complained during the review that lack of support for boost build inhibited them from reviewing the submission.
I didn't voice this, but I sat down to go and try out the example. Then I realized that I'd need to get CMake installed and it went into the category of "I'll get around to it later", that "later" never happened. I'm not a particular fan of boost build, but it is what boost is using, so I think it is important for all libraries to support it. Saying 'it will be supported later' isn't something that should be done at the stage of a review. Just my opinion. Tom Kent
