If Joakim takes on setting up new boost installations, then feel free to set 
1.49 as minimum version as far as I am concerned.

Hehe - I guess I had that one coming; and that is fine. However my initial 
suggestion - is that we just consider setting 1.44 as minimum; it is at least 
my impression that most active developers support that out of the box right 
now.  Slightly more thought through than "what we have currently have in 
Statoil", I reckon there is an argument to settle for a version in the range 
where both version 2 and version 3 of the filesystem coexist, I think that 
range is 1.44 -1.48. If we settle for a version in that range the transition 
from filesystem version 2 to filesystem version 3 can be made on a module by 
module basis with compile switches.

Now the reactions on my "increase boost" iniative have been reasonably 
positive; but right now the most important thing for me is to advance the 
opm-parser / opm-core integration, and if the maintainers are really reluctant 
to let the boost-1.44 dependency slip through to the 
opm-core/opm-parser-integrate branch I will bend over backwards and use/support 
boost fs version 2 and boost version 1.39.

Subject: Re: [OPM] Boost versions


Actually we are compiling and linking against 1.45 on Red Hat 5 these days. 
However, it seems like Red Hat 6 ships with version 1.41. Hence, version >= 
1.41 is unproblematic from my end. Any larger version and we need to discuss 
how to support it (static linking to avoid dependency issues or out-of-tree 
custom install of boost like we now do for Red Hat 5). Joakim, feel free to 
share your thoughts.



You write "version >= 1.41 is unproblematic from .."; but I guess you mean 
"version <= 1.41 is unprob..."? Anyway in my opinion version 1.41 is quite 
pointless, there is boost filesystem tripwire set out between the versions 1.44 
- 1.48 which must overcome at one point, so upgrading to 1.41 is in my opinion 
quite pointless.



Seen from Statoil I feel that the current boost installation in common area 
/project/res works perfectly fine, and I fully expect that to continue to work 
after an upgrade to RedHat6.
