Hi,

Is there a global policy regarding the way how/when/by whoom tags are created for releases and release candidates?

I suspect that you already are familiar with these boost web pages, but just in case you aren't ... The best links I could find referring to you questions are https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/StartModWorkflow#Releasenames https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SuperProjectWorkflow#Releasepreparatio... Currently the timing, responsibility, etc. hasn't been documented (or at least I'm not aware ot the docs). I suspect the only place you'll find your answers is by browsing the source in the release submodule repository under tools. I have noticed that the latest 1.56.0-beta1 release http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2014/07/215069.php doesn't appear to have tags in the repositories, nor is there a release/1.56.0 release preparation branch created. So I'm not sure the official release preparations for 1.56.0 have started. Michael

In each submodule there are tags corresponding to the releases (e.g. boost-1.54.0-beta1, boost-1.55.0, etc.). Are they created somehow globally? When a tag is created for the main module is it automatically a tag of the submodule? Or must tags be created manually/separately in each submodule? Of course not counting some private tags. If the former is true, I'm guessing that private tags should have the names reserved for the releases tags? If the latter is true, are they created by the maintenance team or should the authors handle it themselves?

Regards, Adam
