I'm acknowledging this request. I will get to it "as soon as I can" but realistically that is not going to be very soon. These days I am using paid time off from work to do anything with my packages other than keeping them functional and reasonably up to date, and I don't have any to spare at the moment. I am hoping to take a couple of days off next week to catch up on some stuff, but my list is already very long. I would also like to transition ICU to a later version, maybe 52 when it is released, but the release team is seriously backed up on transitions, which is why I have not requested one yet. (Besides, I have another transition waiting for service.) Unfortunately every ICU release requires a library transition because of the fact that they put incubating APIs not subject to any kind of stability rules in their public interface. I have offered ICU for adoption on two or three occasions but have never gotten any takers. Are you interested? I would also consider a patch that takes care of this, particularly if it works with boost. Ideally, before any splitting of the dev package could be done, I would need to ensure that boost, xerces, and openoffice.org (or libreoffice or whatever is current) still builds without any arch-dependent parts. This would enable me to decide which of the options I outlined previously would be better. -- Jay Berkenbilt <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
