Welcome to the Boost Trac

​Boost is a collection of free, peer-reviewed C++ libraries. This Trac is used to aid in the development of Boost, by tracking software issues, documenting Boost development procedures, and providing navigation aids to the Boost source code repository. From this Trac, you can:

• Access the Boost Subversion Repository
• ​Submit patches, bug reports, and feature requests. Please:
  • search first to avoid creating duplicates.
  • Use the Settings link at the top of this page to let us know your email address even if you don't have a Trac userid. Otherwise we won't be able to follow up with you about your bug report.
  • Do not suggest features unless you can identify a particular Boost library in which they belong—new libraries arise differently.
• ​Change your Subversion password

Note: Boost is in the process of migrating from several CVS repositories to a single, unified Subversion repository. Until this migration process is complete, not all of the instructions on this wiki will be 100% correct. For more information about the Boost Subversion migration, see MigrationToSubversion.

Getting a Trac/SVN Userid

Trac userids can be had on request by sending email to ​boost-owner-AT-lists.boost.org describing your role. Userids are normally granted to maintainers and authors of prospective (“sandbox”) and accepted Boost libraries, people working on the Boost website, and people contributing significant content to this Wiki. When you get your userid please use the Settings link at the top of this page to enter your email address. Unless you take this step, tickets can't be assigned to you and any bugs you report will appear to be from an unreachable anonymous user. If you get Subversion access your SVN userid and pasword will be the same as your Trac userid and password.

If you are just submitting bug reports, you probably don't need a Trac userid, but please use the Settings link at the top of this page to enter your email address before submitting your report. Unless you take this step, we won't be able to follow up with you about your issue (and we often need more information in order to do anything useful with a report) and you won't be notified of progress or changes to its status.

Quick Access to the Boost Subversion Repository

You can ​browse the Boost Subversion repository online or retrieve Boost via a ​Subversion client. Most users will be interested in either the stable or the development branch of Boost:

• The development branch is available at ​http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk
• The sandbox is available at ​http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox

To check out the Boost development trunk using the command-line Subversion tool, svn, use:

svn co ​http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk boost-trunk

At any time, you can update your Boost development branch (which now lives in boost-trunk) with:

svn up

Please refer to BoostSubversion for more information about the Boost Subversion repository.
