Everyone else.. Please give the new archives a look.

I haven't tried to build anything yet but it seems, Boost.DLL and Boost.Hana are missing in the archives. I thought they are supposed to be released in 1.61. A suggestion: maybe we should replace .tar.bz2 with .tar.xz. xz is ubiquitous nowdays and it provides better compression ratio.

Note sure about doing that.. As even the tar.gz version gets plenty of downloads still https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.60.0/. And it would only be close to the size of the 7z. So not much of a gain.

$ bzcat boost_master_969ee704c6f008f3c509ed5e4b7a59a2a2615f35.tar.bz2 | xz >boost_master_969ee704c6f008f3c509ed5e4b7a59a2a2615f35.tar.xz $ ls -la boost_master_969ee704c6f008f3c509ed5e4b7a59a2a2615f35.* -rw-rw-r-- 1 lastique lastique 85430042 Mar 10 00:31 boost_master_969ee704c6f008f3c509ed5e4b7a59a2a2615f35.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 lastique lastique 75138984 Mar 10 00:37 boost_master_969ee704c6f008f3c509ed5e4b7a59a2a2615f35.tar.xz That's 10MB less on default settings. It's still a gain. I mean, what's the downside? PS: Not sure why people would want .tar.gz. I suspect, a large portion of that is generated by scripts/robots noone updated.

I am testing this out with Oracle Solaris Studio 12.5 on sparc-S2. So far do not see any issues in running the tests.

Cool :-)

The libraries compute, hana, dll and metaparse are not in. Not sure of they are supposed to be part of this download.

They should definitely be there. And I think I see the problem. Will fix ASAP. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

It wasn't was I thought it was. But I do know what it is now. And will fix later tonight when I go home.

OK, the root cause of this is fixed. When the next set of archives get generated (i.e. when there's a change to the super-project master branch) the new libraries should be in there. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

As part of my attempt to make the Boost release management less painful, for everyone, I've implemented building of the release archives in Travis-CI. As of yesterday archives of the "boost" super-project master branch are getting uploaded to the bintray.com service at < https://bintray.com/boostorg/snapshots/master/view>. There are still some kinks in how this works but it's automated enough at this point that it might serve the upcoming release needs.

I would appreciate it if people download the archives available at the above link and test them out. In particular I'm looking to see if there's anything missing or generally incorrect. For reference the archives are named with the commit SHA that they correspond to.

Thank you.

Thank you for doing this Rene! This is great.

Looks like this moved it:

< https://github.com/boostorg/numeric_conversion/commit/cda4506afe73e40b7bbd70...

And I also just fixed that. Again, when next archives build from master branch it will be resolved. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

Anyone have any other feedback or problems? On Sun, Mar 6, 2016 at 8:59 PM, Rene Rivera wrote:

OK.. That's now fixed. The exclusion checks (yes multiple identical checks) for that where a mess. It's a bit cleaner now.
