Hi all! =) I'm Zak, a rather new user to the Boost libraries (and, in some ways, to C++ as well ;) I've been lurking this and the boost-users list for a few days now (I got wind of this from Dean Berris.) I'm pretty much a Perl monk, but I've been pulled into the C++ whirlpool to work on a project that involves, among other things, an Egyptian god, some chunky boys, and portals. Anyhow, I came to using Boost mostly because of my current work, and I hit a bump along the way since I am required to deploy Boost 1.33.1 to Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (aka Sarge,) and that particular target platform had only Boost 1.30 installed. Hence, being not so much as a C++/Boost expert, but rather more game towards packaging stuff for Debian and Ubuntu, I chose to repackage and backport Boost 1.33.1 from Debian Sid to Sarge, adding Boost.Asio while on it. ;-) How did I do it? Rather than writing it down here, I have exercised my freedom to write everything about it on the Boost Wiki[0] in the page `BackportingBoostToDebianSarge'[1] and give a little something back to the Boost community. Hope it helps someone. :D [0] http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl [1] http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?BackportingBo... Comment? Suggestion?
