[boost] New Boost RPM spec file

From: Patrick Hartling (patrick_at_[hidden])
Date: 2006-05-15 15:39:43

In my company's use of Boost, we have found that the Boost RPM installed
with Linux distributions such as Fedora Core and Red Hat Enterprise Linux
does not quite meet our needs. This happens because that RPM does not
install the multi-threaded versions of the libraries, nor does it preserve
the version information on the installed libraries. I have attached an RPM
spec file that addresses these issues and that allows targeting 32-bit Linux
from an x86_64 installation (though it has to exclude Boost.Python and
Boost.iostreams).

Personally, I would like to see Boost RPMs built that follow the existing
Boost conventions more closely, but that may not be a popular view. If
nothing else, I thought that posting this file would be helpful to people
who have run into the same issues that we have seen.

%description
Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.  The
emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard
Library.  One goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide
reference implementations so that the Boost libraries are suitable for
eventual standardization. (Some of the libraries have already been
proposed for inclusion in the C++ Standards Committee's upcoming C++
Standard Library Technical Report.)
