[C++-sig] [Boost.Python] Request to merge some patches from trunk into 1.40 branch (was: Re: PySide has been released) (original) (raw)

I think it was not clear in the announcement, but PySide uses Boost.Python.

And for it to work properly, we need a few patches that are already in Boost SVN trunk, but in none of the release branches.

Therefore, is it possible to get these patches merged into the 1.40 release branch before the final release? That would make life a lot easier for other distros to try PySide without requiring to apply patches separately.

The relevant commits are listed in http://www.pyside.org/downloads/, they are:

Add generic call operator support. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/47846 Support C++ enums which have the same value. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/53660 Fix unsigned integer converters. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/54919 Fix unsigned integer converters (update). https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/54923

IMHO these patches fix important bugs in Boost.Python, and the first two were in trunk even before the 1.39 release, but were never merged...

Thanks in advance,
