[Boost.Python] Request to merge some patches from trunk into 1.40 branch (was: Re: PySide has been released)
I think it was not clear in the announcement, but PySide uses Boost.Python. And for it to work properly, we need a few patches that are already in Boost SVN trunk, but in none of the release branches. Therefore, is it possible to get these patches merged into the 1.40 release branch before the final release? That would make life a lot easier for other distros to try PySide without requiring to apply patches separately. The relevant commits are listed in http://www.pyside.org/downloads/, they are: Add generic call operator support. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/47846 Support C++ enums which have the same value. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/53660 Fix unsigned integer converters. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/54919 Fix unsigned integer converters (update). https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/54923 IMHO these patches fix important bugs in Boost.Python, and the first two were in trunk even before the 1.39 release, but were never merged... Thanks in advance, -- Anderson Lizardo OpenBossa Labs - INdT Manaus - Brazil
Anderson, let me forward that mail to the main boost list, and ping Beman (release manager) and David (boost.python maintainer). Beman, David, if it's not too late, I may help merge trunk to the release branch. Let me know... Stefan On 08/21/2009 08:08 AM, Anderson Lizardo wrote:

Oh, great ! Since you are around, could you please review https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3356 ? I was working on a numpy.ndarray extension, and got hit by this bug when Python would throw an exception at me at seemingly random places, just because boost.python failed to raise the issue right where it was. May be this is serious enough (and the patch simple enough) to still make it into 1.40 ? Thanks, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
It's fine as far as I'm concerned. On vacation right now so can't give it more attention. Sent from my iPhone On Aug 21, 2009, at 4:54 AM, Stefan Seefeld <seefeld@sympatico.ca> wrote:

Hi Anderson, All changes from the trunk were merged Mon Aug 17 this week. I just checked, currently the boost/python and libs/python directories are identical in the trunk and the release branch. I'm pretty sure all updates will be included in the final 1.40 release.

Ok, I must confess I only checked the beta package in http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.40.0.beta.1/boost_1_40_0... and noticed it wasn't there, so I assumed it wasn't in the release branch. But now I see that this package was uploaded on Aug 10th, so that's why it didn't have the changes. Thanks! Just hoping to get the final 1.40 release soon :) -- Anderson Lizardo OpenBossa Labs - INdT Manaus - Brazil
