To ensure that boost remains an empty metapackage after version updates, we explicitly require boost files to be empty. If new libraries exist after a version update of the boost recipe, bitbake will emit a warning at the do_package task. For example, at the version update from 1.58.0 to 1.59.0, the new timer library is indicated with:
WARNING: QA Issue: boost: Files/directories were installed but not shipped in any package: /usr/lib/libboost_timer.so.1.59.0 Please set FILES such that these items are packaged. Alternatively if they are unneeded, avoid installing them or delete them within do_install. boost: 1 installed and not shipped files. [installed-vs-shipped] Ross Burton suggested this improvement on the openembedded-core mailing list during review of the boost recipe version update [1].
