On a couple of pages we have links to
  http://www.boost.org/boost_all.tar.gz
which doesn't exist any longer.

How should we resolve this?

(Ideally, we'd really have just one link to every external package used
for testing.  Do you have a good idea on how to solve that, Janis?)

There are several versions and formats to choose from at SourceForge.
Should we recommend a particular version for GCC integration testing
and if so, which one?  (That question is for people familiar with
Boost.)

The other packages ought to be updated as well.  A few days ago I built
the recommended version of Blitz++, which gets tons of warnings with 3.3
on powerpc64-linux but passes all tests.  A more recent version doesn't
get warnings and also passes all tests.  I haven't tried it with
mainline, but some of these older versions might not even compile with
the new C++ parser.  That was true of FTensor, due to questionable code
in FTensor (according to Walter Landry) rather than problems with the
new parser.

We can move links to particular application packages down to the
build and test guides; that goes for the tarball and also for the
link to information about the package.  If an app listed among the
release criteria doesn't have a build and test guide, we can remove
it until someone provides one.  I had meant to remove the build and
test guides from gcc-3.1 and redirect those to the ones in the
testing directory; I'll do that.

On second thought, this isn't a great idea, even though it might
encourage development of more build and test guides.

If an app that is part of the release criteria has a build and test
guide then links to it can be in the build and test guide; otherwise
they can be in the table in the release criteria.

The last released one, 1.30.0 currently.

Yes, that sounds like a good plan!  (Are you going to implement it?
If not, I'll try to handle it after the weekend...)

Yes, I'll make the changes, but I'd like you to review them before
I commit them.
