I have been having notions that the time to automate a buildbot dashboard is the same time as when we implement dependency support for Boost.Build. Until then it'll have to be manual I'm afraid.
what dependency support would you want implemented?
Nothing crazy: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2013/10/207600.php. You'll note there I mention build bot and automated sanity test runs there too.
Making Boost's Jamroot run a script on a start is quite trivial. There's already BOOST_ROOT variable, so, something like local script = $(BOOST_ROOT)/script.sh ; if [ CHECK_IF_FILE $(script) ] { SHELL $(script) ; } sounds possible? On the other, I am not sure I understand your design goal. I am quite surely don't want any git checkouts or fetches to happen when I just build.
tldr: I got told to stop discussing here and go to ryppl.
I am somewhat lost about that ryppl thing. It seems clear that this attempt to clone Maven for C++ projects is not taking off, so I don't know why directing people to random mailing lists is gonna be helpful. - Volodya
