boost-mpi package
It seems that the Boost.Mpi library is not built by any of the packages
in pkgsrc. I would like to add a boost-mpi package that would depend
on the parallel/openmpi package. The package can be easily patterned
after devel/boost-python and builds just fine. However, there are a
couple of issues that complicate this.
- Boost.Mpi depends on Boost.Serialization, so when it is built both
libraries are built and installed.
- Boost.Serialization is normally included in the devel/boost-libs
package. Consequently, a simple boost-mpi package would conflict
with boost-libs.
Should Boost.Serialization be pulled out of devel/boost-libs so that
it can be installed either singly from its own package or in conjunction
with boost-mpi? Are there any other solutions to this?
Thanks for your input.
Cheers,
Brook
