Eh? Each git submodule is a direct dependency. Any git submodules inside those is their direct dependencies.
Haha!
Enjoy handling cycles :)
Also enjoy explaining to Robert what 'cycles' and 'dependencies' are :). Solve that problem and Boost might not be completely out in the cold as far as C++17/Clang modules are concerned.
I believe I have a solution based on pinning branches instead of SHAs in submodules, and that APIBind based libraries export what API version they provide.
Is the boost community self-aware enough to be able to make a list of libraries which are maintained and a list of those that are not maintained?
Marshall have several lists. The strictest lists about 60 undermaintained libraries.
Do you even want to know? I wonder what would even be done with that information? Would you document unmaintained libraries as such, or be ashamed of doing so? Would you consider whether to keep releasing the unmaintained ones?
I believe a change in how inactive maintainers are removed has been agreed, plus measures to improve finding new maintainers for unmaintained libraries. Niall -- ned Productions Limited Consulting http://www.nedproductions.biz/ http://ie.linkedin.com/in/nialldouglas/
