If one uses tools/boostdep and runs depinst, will it pull those in automatically?
No, it doesn't. Although we do need a mechanism to pull those "essential submodules" automatically. I'm thinking of having a file named .essentials in the root, so that we can then do
git submodule init `cat .essentials` git submodule update
in .travis.yml.
I manually pull in tools/boostdep, tools/build, and tools/inspect, and then run depinst to pull in all the direct and transitive dependencies.
tools/inspect should no longer be necessary. It was a mistake that Jamroot required it, and that was fixed.
Thanks - fortunately for any repository using boost-ci already, the submodule updates were previously factored out into an external script. I just updated boost-ci with the changes from your original email. This fixes the CMT repositories, plus function, move, signals2, date_time, format, and uuid. - Jim
