Getting Started with Modular Boost Library Maintenance

This page describes the mechanics of maintaining a Boost library using Git and Modular Boost.

The intended audience is developers involved in the maintenance of existing Boost libraries.

Prerequisites

Verify Tests Working

Before making any changes to you library, which we will call mylib, be sure the test suite is working in the modular Boost environment:

cd modular-boost/libs/mylib
git checkout develop
git pull
cd test
b2

Fix a simple bug

These commands could be used for any Git project, modular or not, so hopefully you are already somewhat familiar with them:

cd /modular-boost/libs/mylib
git checkout develop
# make edits
# test as above
git commit -a -m "my bug fix"
git push

Simple bugs are usually fixed on the develop branch - there is usually no need to first create a bug-fix branch.
