So is this project dead now?

Not at all!

Indeed, most of the action has moved onto GitHub: https://github.com/boost-lib/boost-cmake. The aim is to merge with the Ryppl (http://ryppl.org) initiative, led by Dave Abrahams and Eric Niebler, consisting of, among other things, modularising Boost.

That project has been used, and is still currently used, to package Boost for Redhat/Fedora. For instance, Fedora 15 should come with Boost-1.46.0 (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/F15Boost146).

Any contribution is welcome.

Sincerely

Denis
