While adding Boost.ODEint to the modularization manifest, I realized some inconsistencies about sublibs.
The directories in "libs" usually contain one library each. In this case, we move the content to a dedicated Git repository. Some directories however (algorithm, numeric) host multiple libraries. How should we treat them?
Move each one to a dedicated Git repository, or leave them grouped together?
What's currently inconsistent, is that "numeric" is split into individual repositories, while "algorithm" is not.
Size is at least one objective difference between "numeric" and "algorithm". "boost/numeric" is 210 Files, 30 Folders, and 3,094,931 bytes. "boost/algorithm" is 70 Files, 6 Folders, and 487,109 bytes.
Further, I saw that the Git submodules of numeric's sublibraries are generated in "libs" rather than "libs/numeric", which is wrong. However, before I fix it, we need to decide whether these individual submodules should be individual or not.
Opinions?
Unless someone comes up with a killer argument to do otherwise, I'd say numeric stays separate submodules and algorithms stays as a single sub-module. I agree with you that the numeric sub-libraries should be in libs/numeric. --Beman
