Re: [boost] 1.35 release procedure questions

A related question.  I've got a fairly extensive set of changes that I would 
hope to be uploading to the trunk in the next 2 weeks or so.   I will have 
tested the package on my own setup, but the changes are such that I would 
expect some surprizes on configurations I don't have access to.  Can this be 
done anytime I find convenient? Or should I wait for some particular set of 
conditions to present themselves.
