Main inclusion report for boost

Requirements

1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/boost, compiled on all arches.

2. Rationale: New build dependency of OpenOffice.org 2; so far the build used the boost version included in the upstream sources. In addition, it's a fairly popular general purpose C++ library.

3. Security:

  • No CANs.
  • No Secunia record.
  • No binaries.

4. QA:

  • Installation: only a library, no end user tool.
  • Bugs: no Debian/upstream showstopper bugs.
  • No special hardware interaction.

5. Standards compliance:

  • Standard debhelper packaging.

  • FHS met.
  • Debian policy:
    • no SONAME symlinks, but probably the API changes quite often, so that's alright.
    • libboost-dev should be Architecture: all
