It is obvious that the Boost library collection is quite large and growing, and it probably will never decrease. It takes a long time to build the libraries that require building and to copy the headers from one place to another. It would be really nice for me (and for others, I suspect) to be able to request just the subset of libraries that I use. I would like the developers to think of a mechanism to break up the collection into subsets. Of course, there could be one subset that is common to all, and there could be other subsets that are common to a group of libraries. It would make sense to keep the number of subsets small by placing libraries with similar functionality or dependencies into a single subset. If you want to get fancy, you could include a library in multiple subsets. Whatever makes sense should be fine with most users. I just ask you to consider the desirability of restructuring the distributions. -- Dick Hadsell 914-259-6320 Fax: 914-259-6499 Reply-to: hadsell@blueskystudios.com Blue Sky Studios http://www.blueskystudios.com 44 South Broadway, White Plains, NY 10601
