ATTN library maintainers: libraries missing metadata files
The following libraries are currently missing the metadata file meta/libraries.json, which describes the library: libs/algorithm/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/assign/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/bimap/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/compatibility/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/detail/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/disjoint_sets/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/function_types/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/graph_parallel/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/icl/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/iostreams/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/locale/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/local_function/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/numeric/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/parameter/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/ptr_container/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/python/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/random/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/range/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/rational/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/scope_exit/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/serialization/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/statechart/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/sync/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/typeof/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/type_erasure/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/uuid/meta/libraries.json does not exist libs/winapi/meta/libraries.json does not exist Many of those libraries already have pull requests that contain the file. Please accept them and then merge them to master as well. :-) The file format is documented here: http://www.boost.org/development/library_metadata.html

These two are internal submodules, there is no public description of them, and I'm not sure libraries.json is needed for them. What is this file used for? Anyway, many people contributed to the code, and I can't tell who are the authors of these modules. Likewise, the maintainers beside me. If you know that, please create pull requests.

Internal submodules should probably not have this file. It's used to update the library list, on the website, and locally by bpm. Neither Detail nor Winapi should probably show there. My dumb script didn't know that though, sorry. :-)

Internal submodules should probably not have this file.
Or perhaps they should have it, but be marked as internal in some way inside, so that the tools know not to show them in a user-facing library list. Maybe add "internal": true?
