To: Hideki IWAMOTO <[email protected]>


I got over 9.1 GB free space, but root is less than 1 GB. Yes, probably
because /tmp is too small. But I wonder, why only 100 MB of Boost generates
such a huge database. I tried in ony latest Boost and Global generates
quickly and the tag database is less than 100MB; I generated the tas in
libs/ directory inside Boost source code.
