Subject: [Boost-cmake] When will the CMake contributions make their way to Boost upstream?

Dear All,

first, some good news: the packaging of Boost for Fedora/RedHat with CMake
has been officially approved (
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/F13Boost141 and
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/317) by the Fedora steering comity
(FESCo) yesterday :)

1. Also, they would like some more information on how and when the
Boost-CMake effort will be incorporated within upstream Boost. Would anyone
know more about that?

2. A new bug has just been opened on the Boost.MPI (and Boost.Graph,
depending on MPI as well) packaging part:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=559009. I still foresee two
non-blocking issues:
2.1. The ability of Boost.MPI (and Boost.Graph) to build with OpenMPI
without manually hard-coding the path to OpenMPI (
http://lists.boost.org/boost-cmake/2009/12/0861.php).
2.2. The undefined symbols in the Boost.MPI Python module (mpi.so library:
http://lists.boost.org/boost-cmake/2009/11/0752.php).

Any comment, update, feedback would be welcome.

Thanks in advance

Best Regards

D
