So I saw the announcement that Boost 1.44.0 had been released. I took a look around www.gitorious.com/boost and noticed that the following:
http://gitorious.org/~denisarnaud/boost/denisarnauds-zeuners-boost-cmake/co mmits/1.44.0-denis Is a clone that is keeping up with the latest releases and HEAD from Boost-SVN. There are some small issues still with using the boost-cmake installation with it's default settings and CMake's own "FindBoost.cmake" file. Work-arounds are easy (Matter of setting some CMake variables correctly) and I have asked on the CMake mailing list to see if some additions to the FindBoost.cmake file can be added to the next release of CMake in order to make a default build of boost-cmake work better with CMake itself. Thanks Denis for keeping up with the upstream builds of Boost-svn. Mike Jackson PS: Troy, if you are listening, could you please add some others as administrators to the gitorious/boost project so we can keep the distributions in a single place? Thanks.
