Hi. A handful of contributors have looked into how we can streamline our website and the release package and there are two ideas which come up with regular periodicity:
1. Remove the unified documentation build 2. Split the Boost release into two archives: sources, and documentation
The unified documentation build has a different layout in the release compared to the other libraries, which creates special cases for tooling. Splitting the Boost release gives an additional option to users who don’t need the documentation locally. Of course, what goes into these two new archives is completely up for discussion.
We already provide source-sans-docs release archives here:
https://github.com/boostorg/boost/releases
Since these are prepared by a CI job I made, and not by release managers, they are "unofficial" but still useful (e.g. for CI).
Interesting, didn't know they existed. Why the need for separate b2 vs cmake archives? -- -- René Ferdinand Rivera Morell -- Don't Assume Anything -- No Supongas Nada -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net
