Jürgen, Volodya, all,
Would Rene's approach be acceptable?
- Send tools/build/v2/* to the top level of the build repository. - Send the rest of tools/build to historic/build in the build repo. - Send tools/jam to historic/jam in the build repo.
This is hopefully what we all wanted. Yes. Perfect.
Pro: - The change is quick and easy. - I did it, so you can review it.
Thanks a lot. I've only tested building HEAD for now, but the layout seems to be correct. I'll poke around the history the next days. And try to get my patches applying again.
Contra: - It does not reflect the history. You might not succeed to check out and build a very old version of boost.
For really ancient version we should have the old repository in read-only mode somewhere. This is sufficient at least for me. The removal of "v2" requires some patching. I've attached to necessary patch to bootstrap.{sh,bat}. Can this be applied automatically right after the conversion so that the scripts are working on checkout? Otherwise the patch(es) should be added to the wiki page. Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math. Jürgen Hunold ! * voice: ++49 4257 300 !
