Hello, Some of you may have noticed some submit requests for packages that BuildRequire: boost-devel. As of current Boost (1.63.0), the boost-devel subpackage has been split into individual libboost-*-devel subpackages. The reason for the split up is to reduce the giant dependency tree that Boost pulls in because of boost-devel. As an example. libboost_graph-devel is only required by 1 package in Factory and libboost_graph_parallel-devel is not required by anything. The latter pulls in the entire OpenMPI stack, and and this happened for every single build of anything that used any part of Boost! Splitting this up allows us to greatly reduce this dependency tree in shipped products. For now, boost-devel continues to exist in Factory, but please avoid using it in new packages. So, what are the few new packages? libboost_headers-devel libboost_atomic-devel libboost_chrono-devel libboost_container-devel libboost_context-devel libboost_coroutine-devel libboost_date_time-devel libboost_fiber-devel libboost_filesystem-devel libboost_graph-devel libboost_iostreams-devel libboost_locale-devel libboost_log-devel libboost_math-devel libboost_graph_parallel-devel libboost_mpi-devel libboost_program_options-devel libboost_python-py2_7-devel libboost_python-py3-devel libboost_random-devel libboost_regex-devel libboost_serialization-devel libboost_signals-devel libboost_system-devel libboost_test-devel libboost_thread-devel libboost_timer-devel libboost_type_erasure-devel libboost_wave-devel Quite a lot of software is only using header-only boost libraries, which means libboost_headers-devel is enough to get it to build. Currently I'm working through the list of about 200 packages that BuildRequire: boost-devel and changing these to an appropriate subset of these new subpackages. If your package BuildRequires: boost-devel and it's in Factory, I'll probably get to it in the next 24h and provide you with a submit request. Additionally, Boost package now provides full support for Python 3 as well as Python 2.7. This includes newly packaged Boost::MPI bindings for both python versions.
