Daniel James created an entry point for 'convert' in the Boost 'develop' branch and 'convert' has been sitting there for quite some time. Now that Boost 1.58.0 has been released I would like to have 'convert' promoted from 'develop' to 'master' so that 'convert' would make it to 1.59. Is there anything that *I* can/need to do to have an entry point created for 'convert' in the Boost 'master' branch? I would start a new thread and add you review manager. It is the review manager that should check everything is okay. I was the review manager for 'convert' and it was accepted into Boost. It has been on 'develop' and been regression tested.
I myself am not sure of the process of moving a library from 'develop' to 'master' so maybe someone dealing with the boostorg/boost project can comment.
My educated guess is that it would involve a fork of boostorg/boost, a local 'pull --rebase' from that fork, changes locally that add the library submodule to 'master' with the necessary commit, a 'push' back to the fork, and then a pull request so that it shows up at boostorg/boost and eventually gets merged into the superproject. I believe part of the local changes are also that status/jamfile.v2 has to be changed so that the library's tests are added to it.
I would expect the master-branch-related "procedure" to be the same as for "develop". As I understand, I myself cannot create an entry point for the library (which is reasonable) and Daniel did that for me in the develop branch. So, I suspect, someone with super-duper permissions would need to step in. Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated. Tnx, V.
