Yes, the -devel package installs headers and static libs, not the whole source tree. I haven't looked at handling 3rd party packages yet. There are basically three options, in order of preference: 1) wait for Boost.Build V2. 2) there's a (rather small) subset of the source tree that suffices to make Boost.Build work 3) I could add another RPM, boost-sources. There's one precedent for such a package that comes to mind: kernel-sources ;-) Installing the whole source tree with boost-devel doesn't seem clean to me. -Malte _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
