This is a status update on boost-1.37 porting. Currently port builds, installs and removes successfully. However, a PR is not filed, because I've suddenly discovered the way 'boost-python' port works. So, I've decided to take additional time for verifying that 'boost-python' is OK. I suspect that at present at least pkg-plist is not complete. My estimate for completing the work is is 2-3 days from now. For the future, I'd like to discuss the possibility of breaking boost into pieces and installing them separately. The 'devel/boost-jam' port would install bjam, the 'devel/boost/' port would install all but python-related stuff, the 'devel/boost-python' port would add pyhon stuff to existing boost installation, and 'devel/boost-build' would do something simiar to what it does now. To my mind suggested approach would simplify understanding of how to install boost. The user would ask a question like 'should I add python to my boost installation' instead of 'is my boost built with python support or not'. The only drawback I see is that several ports would require the same source tarball. For people interested in trying new port early current port tarball is placed at http://www.driveway.com/n2g6d8k2m0 Alexander Churanov
