<h1>What to do about Boost bugs</h1>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Make sure the bug isn't already fixed in the latest sources. The most
|
||||
recent version of everything on the Boost web site is available from
|
||||
<a href="http://www.boost.org/more/download.html#CVS">boost public CVS
|
||||
repository</a>.<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>If you are a Boost user, or a Boost developer that doesn't have a CVS
|
||||
write access: <br>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Submit a bug report to either
|
||||
<a href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#users">boost-users list</a>,
|
||||
<a href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#main">boost mailing
|
||||
list</a>, or our <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=7586">bug
|
||||
tracking facility</a> at SourceForge; submitting it to either of the mailing
|
||||
lists is a preferred way - because many of the Boost developers read the
|
||||
lists on a daily basis, this way you are likely to get a quicker response,
|
||||
and the discussions that often arise there from (possible) bug reports are
|
||||
quite interesting and educational as well;<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>If you have a proposed patch to the code, post it along with your bug
|
||||
report, preferably in the <em>context diffs</em> format (<code>diff -c</code>);
|
||||
if you can, send a patch relative to the current CVS state. <br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>If you are a Boost developer, and you have a CVS write access: <br>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>If bug is trivial (e.g. misspelled name, missed <code>typename</code>,
|
||||
etc.), and you are willing to make a fix, either make your changes locally
|
||||
and contact the library author(s)/maintainer(s) about it, or go ahead and
|
||||
check the fix into CVS, but post a notification about it to the
|
||||
<a href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#main">boost mailing
|
||||
list</a> (if the author is not very active on the list, you also might want
|
||||
to consider <code>cc</code>'ing him as well); <br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>If bug is non-trivial, or/and you don't have time/resources to fix it,
|
||||
submit a bug report (see p. 2 above); chances are that the maintainer(s)
|
||||
will respond promptly and take care of the problem; <br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>Otherwise create a temporary branch in CVS, make your changes there, and
|
||||
ask the library author(s)/maintainer(s) to review them; if they are ok with
|
||||
the new code, either you or they can integrate the fixes into the main
|
||||
trunk. </li>

||||

<h1>Requesting new features for Boost libraries</h1>
|
||||
<p>If you have an idea for a feature or improvement to an existing Boost library
|
||||
- go ahead and post it to either
|
||||
<a href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#users">boost-users list</a>
|
||||
or <a href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#main">boost mailing list</a>
|
||||
(if you are posting for the first time, please read our
|
||||
<a href="http://www.boost.org/more/discussion_policy.htm">discussion policy</a>
|
||||
before you actually post). </p>
|
||||
<p>You can also use our <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=7586">
|
||||
feature request tracking facility</a> at SourceForge, but experience has shown
|
||||
that posting to either of the mailing lists is usually a more effective way to
|
||||
get attention of boost developers. </p>
|
||||
<p>If your proposal has its merits, it's very likely that it will generate a
|
||||
constructive discussion that might actually result in (sometimes substantial)
|
||||
improvement of the library - and your name being put on the library's
