Hello,
I have sent the following to the Boost documentation list, but since this is of broader relevance I have been asked to resend it here...
The content of https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ seems rather outdated, and it has been confusing me a number of times as it wasn't clear what is and what isn't up-to-date.
* There is an entire section "Quick Access to the Boost Subversion Repository". Shouldn't that be removed entirely ?
* The section "Git and Modular Boost" starts with "Boost is moving...". Isn't that conversion complete (and thus, shouldn't the docs state that clearly) ?
* There are other seemingly outdated bits, but there are relatively minor...
What I was actually trying to figure out is how / where to indicate that for Boost.Python I would like issues to be submitted with the respective github issue tracker, rather than the old Boost Trac instance. It's still not clear how to do that (as the Boost docs are again quite monolithic in this respect, i.e. don't allow a per-library policy). So if anyone has suggestions on where / how to express that, please let me know.
There are qute a few current PRs against Boost.Python going back to January 2014 onward. Are you trying to discourage people from submitting PRs for Boost.Python ? The handling of these PRs would go a long way to encourage people to use Git rather than the Boost Trac system, if that is your intent.
