Absolutely. As a user of boost, I only want the specific libraries my packages use installed, otherwise there's a number of extra libraries to be installed for no reason at all. I really don't want the extra bloat. > A compromise position is to keep the 2 Python packages separate -- > since they pull in heavier dependencies (python et al) -- but roll the > rest of the boost shared libs together. Personally, I like the existing separate packages for each bit of boost, and I would really like that kept if at all possible. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
