But I do expect paths to need adjustment.
That might be quite a lot of work ;-)
OK then, I suppose, it will. But still practically nothing compared to figuring out how to do the conversion.
And take some time, especially for older libraries with intermittent maintenance.
My original enquiry was to know if you have yet sketched out how the docs for each library would be built and made available, and if they would be available in some sort of combined way for reviewed and accepted libraries, a bit like the Boostbook collection http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/doc/html/index.html, but for *all* libraries, preferably in some standardish format. I also see a need to be able to provide links to other Boost libraries - Boost is highly, and increasingly, incestuous ;-) But if you haven't started consideration of this yet, then getting the main files into GIT format is obviously has total priority.
I hope most of my work is nearly done now.
:-) I'm sure we are all looking forward to the new structure - even if it needs some work to reconfigure etc. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 07714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
