On the other hand, was this directory structure ever explicitly discussed on this list, and agreed to? It seems to basically put two libraries inside one git repository - which is not arrangement done before?
I asked about MPL recently in this thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/253920
There were a few more general threads about sublibs in the recent past:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/252054 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/236737
So the ability to create sublibs seems to be the common knowledge, and everyone decides whether to use it or not for their benefit. I'm not sure there was an official announcement from Boost.Build team or the Steering Committee though.
Thanks for the explanation - it appears there's enough support for this idea; I've added these links to commit message of your patch and merged to develop.
I, and others, have expressed dislike for that structure.. http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2014/06/213998.php So it would be nice if we stopped using it. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
