Package: boost1.35 Version: 1.35.0-5 Severity: wishlist Hi,
it would be great if you could add support for the boost-mpi libraries which are part of boost since version 1.35. I'd suggest linking against OpenMPI, which is very actively maintained, both upstream and in Debian. I have made a not very successful attempt to hack the debian package to enable boost-mpi packages; my try is attached as a patch. The problem I had is that boost-mpi consists of a libboost_mpi library, as well as a libboost_mpi_python library, which in conjunction with a boost.mpi python module provides a python interface to boost-mpi. Now, the two different libboost_python versions with different suffixes complicate things... I don't know if it wouldn't be easier in the long run to just support the current python version in boost. Unfortunately (well, not really ;) I am on vacation the next three weeks, so I can't continue my trials, nor test anything you might come up with before August. Cheers, Til
