I for one would really appreciate it if the boost community was able to produce a recommended spec file for building and installing boost rpms and correspondingly for packaging boost up with other package management tools.
You're a member of the community, aren't you? :)
Yes. :)
So I guess the question would be, is there interest from the boost admins in accepting an rpm spec file (based on Patrick and Neal's work) and making it the recommended way for packagers to build boost. Or said another way, is there interest in putting the boost seal of approval on packaging and installation methods?
I am interested.
If there is interest, what are the next steps for getting an rpm spec file accepted?
Post it along with an explanation of what it does and rationale for your choices, I guess. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
