Just an update on what I have been messing around with today (really
just want to be sure I am understanding what _really_ needs to be done).
I merged the "branches/cmake/release" into the "trunk" locally on my
machine by just copying the "CMake" related files from the branch
working directory to the trunk working directory.
I used a combination of zip/unzip to do this. Here is the zip command:
zip -r "../boost-cmake.zip" "./" -i \*.cmake Welcome.txt
CMakeLists.txt README.txt tools/build/CMake/\* -x ./\*/.svn/\*
After that I started tracking down the call sequence to get to the
"Modularization" step. If I am understanding everything (From reading
the archives of this email list), the goal of the modularization task
is to get the boost trunk into a more consistent state by having the
headers located in the libs/$LIBNAME/include/boost directory instead
of Boost/*. Is that a fair assessment? So after this is completed and
the CMake build system is 100% working including regression testing
and reporting then the svn repository would be changed to reflect the
"modularized" hierarchy thus making the "Modularization" step in the
CMake build system obsolete?
I added some debugging into the BoostCore.cmake modularization code so
that I can try and figure out what has been and has NOT been
modularized. What I am coming up with is 27 libraries have been
modularized and there are 79 libraries. So that leaves 52 libraries to
be modularized. Is that Correct?
