Gentelmen,
Apparently, ISO 9660, including Levels 2 and 3, does not allow names
containing more than one dot character (see, for instance,
http://www.gnscd.com/iso.htm). The requirement has always been present
in our file/directory naming guidelines --
http://www.boost.org/more/lib_guide.htm#Directory_structure, but was
never checked/inforced. As the result, currently we have quite a
number of files (249!) that will have to be renamed before we can put
them on an ISO 9660 CD -- see
http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost/names_with_dots.html.
Note that this doesn't include BoostBook-generated documentation
(since it is not in the current CVS), which uses multiple dots
convention for the generated HTMLs all over the place.
The Boost.Python tutorial files you cite are generated with
QuickBook. Joel, these babies are yours.
Actually, these are BoostBook babies. I already noted the long
filename problems in the boost-docs list a few weks ago. Rene
Rivera added on top of my post the multiple dot issue. I
don't know BoostBook enough to fix it. No solutions were
suggested, yet. Doug? Anyone?
Cheers,
