The key steps are:
* Closing svn for commits. Of course the svn repo will be preserved for historical purposes. * Shutting down the conversion process, so that the boostorg GitHub repos are no longer being overwritten. * Opening the boostorg GitHub repos for use.
Each of these steps is preceded by some inspection and testing, and will be announced on the Boost list.
What impact does this have on regression testers? Do the regression scripts handle everything, or do testers need to take some action? (E.g., installing git.)
The regression scripts don't necessarily need git. There's an option to download a tarball from beta.boost.org, instead. However, the regression scripts don't currently have any support for git at all.
I suggest posting to the boost-testing list to give a the testers what they need to know (and a heads-up). I don't follow this list closely, and just happened to come across this post.
