Looks good to me too. A couple of comments though: I'm a little bit concerned is that build-depending on versioned boost -dev package (libboost1.35-dev) without exact justification is just adding to the burden when boost migrations occur or boost 1.35 packages gets dropped. As I can see the sigx code only uses a stable core of boost like std::tr1::shared_ptr (<tr1/memory>). These tr1 facilities have been introduced in version 1.34.0. Therefor build-depending on libboost-dev (which is currently 1.34.1) is safe enough and would avoid the burden to update the package when 1.35 gets dropped. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
