As we head toward a modularized Boost, Daniel Pfeifer we on the Ryppl project would like confirmation that we've correctly (or at least sensibly, when there's no obvious "correct") identified the module boundaries in Boost's monolithic SVN repository. If library authors could take a few moments to examine the contents of your library's repo at https://github.com/boost-lib, and let us know, we'd be most grateful.
I haven't tried to use it, but at first glance the files for regex, math, type_traits, TR1 and integer all look right. No doubt all the relative paths in the docs will be wrong though (if they have full relative paths to the headers)?
Probably. That's a good point.
If you have cmake installed, and install modularized boost: git clone http://github.com/boost-lib/boost boost-modules cd boost-modules git submodule update --init (16 minutes on DSL connection) cmake -P forward_headers.cmake (2 minutes on SSD hard-drive) Then symlinks to headers will be installed in a "boost" sub-tree in the root directory. Your doc links should then work. Caution: forward_headers.cmake was only installed a few hours ago, so you may have to do a pull to get it if you already have done the clone. Caution: On Windows 7, I had to run the cmake step with administrative privileges or forwarding headers were installed rather than symlinks. --Beman
