[githelp] modular boost instructions?
[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup] OK, we've already established that the 'Experimenting with Modular Boost' instructions are woefully stale. Can someone please briefly describe what submodules I need to manually add just to get something bootstrapped? In the svn boost there is <root>/build and <root>/tools/build; neither of these is present in boostorg/boost and while there is a build repo, it seems to define a structure that creates <root>/build/build, so I'm confused. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!

Try now. There were several issues getting in the way. History should not only contain all the submodules now, but be more complete in other ways as well. Also I had to hack around GitHub's refusal to accept a push of the boost super-module via SSH. Watch http://jenkins.boost.org/job/Boost2Git/1555 for completion. -Dave

It appears to have worked fine for me, with Git 1.7.12.4
Unfortunately 1.8.3.rc2 gave me the same error. Furthermore it seems that .gitmodules in 5b5883234251dbe6616c696c4b3f7fdda7fde7d7 was in a better state, but it still didn't include tools/build and libs/numeric/ublas. Even if you manually add those submodules, bootstrap will fail because the build repository is under a "build" folder and is cloned into tools/build/build. I am not sure if this is this the intended behavior. -Nasos On 05/17/2013 09:41 AM, Jonathan Wakely wrote:

I saw that too, so I updated to that version and updated all submodules. This gets me stuff in libs, but I still don't get tools/build or build. Therefore, I conclude that I still don't have the build environment and the bootstrap.sh won't work. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!

It seems that .gitmodules is being pushed regularly by individual's rather than retaining a common one.

The git commits are generated by the Boost2git conversion script and they are actually misleading on this point as the .gitmodules filr is generated by the scrippts and not in the personal commits in svn.

I think all this is caused by a bug in the Boost2git conversion script for incremental conversion. https://github.com/ryppl/Boost2Git/issues/21 since the git repositories are slaves of svn until the switch, I think this must be fixed as suggested in the bug report and then do a full conversion to fix the affected part of git history.
If this doesn't stop and build doesn't change it directory structure it won't work but only by manually moving things around.
Agree - why can't the needed parts of tools/build be as in converted git repository until the switch is complete. To move the files afterwards in step lock with the required bootstrap.(sh|bat) and boost-build.jam is trivial. Alternatively more tricky scripting could be used to detect and support both environments for bootstrap and ./b2. -- Bjørn

I would wait until it is fixed proper or simply copy tools/build files from latest boost release. If you have to try out this with git, there is a repository you can clone. But be warned, some of this is not trivial unless you know git well. It is also a bit of a mess as the structure in tools/build is changed in the conversion and the top level scripts are not updated accordingly. It is still being discussed how to deal with this, and the structure may change again or change back. # clone boost git clone --recursive http://github.com/boostorg/boost cd boost Now all should be in place, but as you noted tools/build is missing. To add tools/build submodule manually in boost repository, you may create a branch to work on add it. git checkout -b feature/fix-broken-build git submodule add http://github.com/boostorg/build tools/build But as you will see, the cloned tools/build submodule suffers from the restructure of tools/build into tools/build/build :-( You could checkout a branch in the submodule and edit the submodule for your own needs - whatever they are, e.g. setting structure back to tools/build/v2, not tools/build/build/v2: cd tools/build git checkout -b feature/fix-broken-build git mv build/* . git commit -m "only tools/build, not tools/build/build" Then in the boost meta repository you may add the changed build submodule to index and commit. cd ../.. git add tools/build git commit -m "only tools/build, not tools/build/build" Then later, when you get updates upstream you could rebase your changes on top of upstream commits from Boost2Git conversion with something like. Be warned, I suspect you may hit non-trivial possibly confusing rebase if you try it on the boost meta repository as the conversion scripts are still adjusted, thus history change all the time - that will stabilize when the switch is done. So the rebase is simpler if you do it only in your tools/build submodule to get your changes applied on top of the latest upstream. git fetch git rebase origin/master hope that helps, -- Bjørn

Actually, what we actually wanted reviewed (distribution of SVN changes to Git repositories, branches, and tags) is perfectly ready.

Correction, http://jenkins.boost.org/job/Boost2Git/1555
Dave, can you please disable all history rewriting attemps for Boost.Build and start again?
What do you consider a "history rewriting attempt" and how would I disable it?

I'm sorry, I don't know what you're referring to here

Sorry, that should have read "path rewriting". That means the move of "tools/build/v2/" to "tools/build" which now results in "tools/build/build/v2".

I thought that the conversion was hanging on Boost.Build Sorry for the noise. Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math. Jürgen Hunold ! * voice: ++49 4257 300 ! Fährstraße 1 * fax : ++49 4257 300 ! 31609 Balge/Sebbenhausen * jhunold@gmx.eu ! Germany

It's not actually doing less path rewriting for Boost.Build than for almost any other repository. Currently, we simply take the subdirectories of tools/ that are part of Boost.Build (i.e. tools/jam and tools/build) and put them at the top level of the Boost.Build Git repo. It's like taking the tools directory but throwing out everything that's not part of Boost.Build. That seemed to me to be the most faithful representation of what was happening in SVN.

It sort of was, for a while... but not for the reasons you think. -- Dave Abrahams

Actually, what we actually wanted reviewed (distribution of SVN changes to Git repositories, branches, and tags) is perfectly ready.
Great! I'm late to the party, so I'm doing my best to follow what's going on, but the really stale pages on the wiki have kept me out of the loop unless I want to go do some mailing list archaeology. I'm content to wait for things to evolve further. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!
