Re: [Boost-users] Suggestion to the packaging of boost libraries

I guess you mean the libraries that are not domain-specific but more like language library extension? I remember another discussion about this very toppic earlier in the year.

Hi,

Just courious. But how do you define what the frequently used libraries are?

Thank for the question. I think the word "frequently-use" is quite ambiguous. And everyone works might be difference.

But of course, if this concept is accepted by boost community. The decision about "frequently-used-libraries" must be decided by boost developer team.

I think that the definition of ‘frequent-use’ continuously changes as one uses the library and encounters/learns more and more useful tools. I would vote that the packaging remains as it is. If one wants only specific headers, I think there was a discussion many moons ago about a tool which would extract the ‘used’ headers for minimizing a final project footprint.
