So who's the SuSE boostmeister?

A look into the changes of the package could have given you a hint :) But I'm *very* far from being a boostmeister.

Are there any rpms in a beta state for the latest release of boost?

I've made packages for the next version of SUSE Linux and could make them available for 9.0 via /pub/people.

I /believe/ I have the latest effectively installed from a tarball, so I can wait for the 9.1. Especially since I know it's going to ship real soon, right? :-D What do you think of their build system? I looked over their source tree and I felt completely confused. It's full of, well, source files, not cluttered with a bunch of support files. From my extensive exploration of their process, (10 minutes max) I got the sense that it's pretty clean. I wonder if it remains so when the same code base is intended to build on a dozen different platforms from the same tarball. Boost is very interesting. I think it is likely the best thing to happen to C++ since the GoF wrote the Patterns book. I'm especially interested in spirit. That's something I've tried to implement on my own in the past. I'll have to get a better grasp of the details before I know for sure it does the kinds of things I was attempting.
