I'm sorry, but I have always intended to do what Julian thought:

No problem. Daniel P has committed to updating the conversion script so that will happen, and I've just now updated docs accordingly.
I wonder how testing will work. Will the "develop" and "master" branches of each repo be tested?
What's going to be tested is fluid. The ultimate goal is to allow developers to request specific combinations of tests with each commit by modifying a .json file in their project's root directory. In the meantime, I expect to test every commit on any branch.
The biggest question is against which versions of Boost dependencies the commit will be tested. The obvious choices are 1. the version that was part of the last boost release, and 2. the last version of the dependency to be individually released (i.e. that dependency's "master" branch).
Feedback/opinions on that choice are most welcome.
Since there are clearly some decisions outside of my understanding as testing manager, and part of the release team... Could someone please comment on what is expected for the release that is based from github?
Sorry, the question is too vague for me to answer. What kind of expectations, expected by whom, and for the release of what (I presume Boost as a whole, but pls confirm)?
Because barring any other direction testing will be exactly what it is right now.. Which is to test the the *release* (either trunk/develop of release/master branches) structure of Boost.
For monolithic Boost testing, boost's master repo (the one containing the submodules) will have some number of active branches. We can decide which of those branches get tested. Each such branch specifies the precise versions of all component libraries that will be tested. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing Software Development Training http://www.boostpro.com Clang/LLVM/EDG Compilers C++ Boost
