Boost 1.75 introduced the Boost JSON library [1]. I am trying to package some software [2] which depends on Boost JSON.
Boost JSON is interesting because it has a standalone mode which allows it to be used outside Boost. Should I wait for Boost 1.75 to be in Debian, or should I make a Boost JSON standalone-mode package for Debian? (A third option is to use the Boost JSON vendored in the software I'm trying to package. I understand that this is frowned upon in Debian.) Thanks, Matthew "strager" Glazar [1] https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/#lib-json [2] https://quick-lint-js.com/ On Thu, 31 Dec 2020 14:27:31 +0100 Giovanni Mascellani <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Il 31/12/20 10:20, Olaf van der Spek ha scritto: > > Could Boost 1.75 be packaged? > > Eventually it will be (either 1.75 or a newer version), but I don't know > when. 1.74 will be in bullseye, there is no point rushing a new > transition now. > > Giovanni. > -- > Giovanni Mascellani <[email protected]> > >
