[asio-users] Bug#718478: Outdated 1.4.8 asio version (github)

[Markus Wanner]

Hi,

I'm still unclear on a release specific aspect: Are there proper release
tarballs somewhere (as used to be on think-async.com) or shall I use the
github tars (with all its gotchas) for packaging the Debian asio package?

Regards

Markus Wanner

Chris,
I've recently stepped up as a maintainer of the asio package for Debian.
Unfortunately, I missed pretty much anything beyond 1.4.8, because
that's still what think-async.com, sourceforge.not, Google and Wikipedia
know about.
Granted, I wasn't subscribed to any mailing list, either. But given the
above, I'm unclear whether or not the SF mailing list is actually used.
To find out, I subscribed just now.

https://github.com/chriskohlhoff/asio/releases
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/doc/html/boost_asio/history.html
[Asio 1.10.0 / Boost 1.54]

Can you please clarify?
Do you plan to ship actual releases (i.e. tar balls) or is it going to
be just a git tag in the future?
Overall, I'm glad asio didn't get stuck at 1.4.8, but continues to be
developed. Please consider promoting it better.
Regards
Markus Wanner
