I have a worldview that goes like this:
There's an "official" repo for each individual project in Boost.
There is also a central boost repo, but it contains only the relatively few infrastructure files that apply to Boost as a whole, plus "references" to the official repos for the individual projects. The exact form of the "references" is immaterial to this world view, although certainly critical to the mechanics of how the central repo is used.
Is that just a slightly more detailed version of your worldview, or do you literally mean "no one central boost repo"? If you literally mean that, I'm lost. How would any person or process know what's a part of Boost?
They may get this information either from the Boost website or from the organization view on github (https://github.com/boost-lib). We may provide a tool that downloads all projects from this organization and sets up the required infrastructure. There is no need to keep this infrastructure in an additional repository. cheers, Daniel
