Some problems I have: 1.

2. The latter seems to break submodule init.

$ git submodule init No submodule mapping found in .gitmodules for path 'libs/chrono'

3. .gitmodules comes with the math entry be default?: [submodule "libs/math"] path = libs/math url = http://github.com/boostorg/math

3. At least ublas subdir is not created in numeric. This problem should be fixed as of https://github.com/ryppl/Boost2Git/commit/e13e87a

It seems that it is fixed now. Thank you for all the hard work! -Nasos On 05/22/2013 01:55 PM, Dave Abrahams wrote:

There were several issues getting in the way. History should not only contain all the submodules now, but be more complete in other ways as well. Also I had to hack around GitHub's refusal to accept a push of the boost super-module via SSH. Watch http://jenkins.boost.org/job/Boost2Git/1555 for completion.

None; we (finally!) have a modularized history with submodules! Please

Unfortunately 1.8.3.rc2 gave me the same error. Furthermore it seems that .gitmodules in 5b5883234251dbe6616c696c4b3f7fdda7fde7d7 was in a better state, but it still didn't include tools/build and libs/numeric/ublas. Even if you manually add those submodules, bootstrap will fail because the build repository is under a "build" folder and is cloned into tools/build/build. I am not sure if this is this the intended behavior. -Nasos On 05/17/2013 09:41 AM, Jonathan Wakely wrote:

yes that is better, it seems git commit today

I saw that too, so I updated to that version and updated all submodules. This gets me stuff in libs, but I still don't get tools/build or build.

Guilty!

This is a bug. Noted: https://github.com/ryppl/Boost2Git/issues/21

It seems that .gitmodules is being pushed regularly by individual's rather than retaining a common one. A few days ago .gitmodules was overwritten to include only boost.math, now it references only boost.log. Look at those commits for example: (older to newer) https://github.com/boostorg/boost/commit/ec263acde5756da86a6036b36eabc8dbe57... https://github.com/boostorg/boost/commit/1862b15a2b24f81a497c7d5fd1985291598... https://github.com/boostorg/boost/commit/57867018811951232b896c2808f3b1710c1... If this doesn't stop and build doesn't change it directory structure it won't work but only by manually moving things around. -Nasos On 05/18/2013 09:09 PM, Richard wrote:

The git commits are generated by the Boost2git conversion script and they are actually misleading on this point as the .gitmodules filr is generated by the scrippts and not in the personal commits in svn.

So you're saying if I look at the history of .gitmodules, I will find an older version that has the submodules for tools/build and build? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline The Computer Graphics Museum http://computergraphicsmuseum.org The Terminals Wiki http://terminals.classiccmp.org Legalize Adulthood!

No, I am not saying that. I think conversion of tools/build is not activated or it is broken.

OK, so still looking for an answer to this question: What git repo do I clone in order to get the build tools?

I was talking of all the other submodules that was missing from .gitmodules due to a bug in the conversion scripts that seems to have been fixed.

I noticed that and updated to an earlier verison; I was able to get all the stuff under libs, but still lacked the build system. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline The Computer Graphics Museum http://computergraphicsmuseum.org The Terminals Wiki http://terminals.classiccmp.org Legalize Adulthood!

Yes, that helps a lot. Mainly, you confirmed everything that I suspected. I'm happy to wait for the dust to settle a little bit more.

Actually, what we actually wanted reviewed (distribution of SVN changes to Git repositories, branches, and tags) is perfectly ready. Even though it's a completely separate issue, I know that most people just care about seeing submodules, though, so I'm working on a fix for the problem.

I think this is probably fixed now. We'll know for sure after http://jenkins.boost.org/job/Boost2Git/1538/ completes. -- Dave Abrahams

Correction, http://jenkins.boost.org/job/Boost2Git/1555

Dave, can you please disable all history rewriting attemps for Boost.Build and start again?

What do you consider a "history rewriting attempt" and how would I disable it?

It is much more important to get a working repository now as a lot of people want to start contributing.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you're referring to here

Sorry, that should have read "path rewriting". That means the move of "tools/build/v2/" to "tools/build" which now results in "tools/build/build/v2".

It's not actually doing less path rewriting for Boost.Build than for almost any other repository. Currently, we simply take the subdirectories of tools/ that are part of Boost.Build (i.e. tools/jam and tools/build) and put them at the top level of the Boost.Build Git repo. It's like taking the tools directory but throwing out everything that's not part of Boost.Build. That seemed to me to be the most faithful representation of what was happening in SVN.

I thought that the conversion was hanging on Boost.Build

It sort of was, for a while... but not for the reasons you think. -- Dave Abrahams
