I was asked several times why boost.fiber is not contained if boost's git-repo is cloned with git clone --recursive http://github.com/boostorg/boost.git.

I'm wondering because boost.fiber is already included in the regression tests (master/develop).

Hm.. You are correct in that fiber is not in the master branch yet. Usually one of the release managers adds it before a release. But it's definitely strange that it's getting tests posted in the master branch results. And I don't know why it would do that. I'll need to investigate.

PS. And now I know why it's happening. Seems the testers are running develop & master tests from the same testing tree. And hence the same git clone. Which doesn't work the way regression script does the clone & checkout. As it leaves submodules around when it checks out from one branch to another. As git refuses to delete empty submodule directories. So I'll have to find a way to deal with this use case :-( PPS. I hate git submodules. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
