Hi, | commit 9db32c5cf79c749d39a8fd3317ae6cc03bebde7c | Author: eelco <ee...@70bd8c7a-acb8-0310-9f0d-9cc1c95dcdbb> | Date: Fri Apr 3 23:54:20 2009 +0000 | | * Boost: cut the installed size from 257 MB (!!!) to 58 MB. It | required all that space because it was building static/shared, | single-thread/multi-threaded, and debug/production versions of the | libraries - as well as every combination of those. Now we build | only the shared, multi-threaded, production version, which needs | only 8 MB. [...]
this change breaks my installation. I do need some of the variants that were deleted from the expression, i.e. the variants for single-threaded and debug builds. Arguably, it would be nice if the Boost expression would offer more granularity to allow depending on specific libraries in specific variants, but until we have that, removing arbitrary libraries from the installation doesn't sound like a good idea. | * Removed some Boost versions that aren't used anymore. It feels odd that version 1.36.0 is still available, but (the newer) version 1.37.0 is not. What exactly does it mean for a package like Boost to be "unused"?
