Greetings, to build another project I need Boost version 1.60 or better. However, Ubuntu 16.04 (which I'm still using) only provides Boost 1.58. In the past I solved similar problems by simply running
git clone -n https://... xxx && hg convert -s git -d hg xxx yyy and by then compiling the required version of a dependency myself. But the Boost source repository contains what Git dubs "submodules" and thus requires the "--recursive" option for "git clone". Are these submodul- es the Git aequivalent of Mercurial's sub-repositories? But more imp- ortantly: is Mercurial's "convert" extension or the "hg-git" extension capable of automatically converting all these submodules to Mercurial? Or do I have to write a shell script which later pulls any new change- sets for all these submodules and then incrementally "hg convert"s them to Mercurial? Any information or pointers welcome.
