Troy, Doug, and others,
I just moved the boost/sandbox/troy subdir to boost/sandbox-branches/troy. This was to fix two problems:
Ouch. Some warning would have been nice... that move breaks all of the automatic regression testing Troy has setup (about 5 boxes running continuous builds of Boost via CMake, and submitting those results to a Dart2 server). Troy's away, so it'll be a few days before he can tweak the machines to deal with this change. Not catastrophic, but it'll slow me down a bit :(
Excuse me, but wouldn't it be better to reserve the sandbox (or whatever other repository/area) for candidate libraries and keep them separate from this kind of work? While we're at it, I understand the desire of better separating each candidate library/sandbox project than they were in the SF repository, but wouldn't a structure as close as the official Boost tree help avoid having to change one's library from "sandbox" style to "official" style? I'm asking because I find that there are things in the Boost environment that work automatically if you have a boost/your-library - libs/your-library structure which are harder to do with a different directory tree.
