Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
The emphasis is on libraries that work well with the C++ Standard
Library. Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable
across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages
both commercial and non-commercial use.
The goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the C++
Standards Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) and will be in
the new C++0x Standard now being finalized. C++0x will also include
several more Boost libraries in addition to those from TR1. More Boost
libraries are proposed for TR2.
===> The following configuration options are available for boost-docs-1.92.0:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
devel/boost: improve port (+)
1. Convert ZSTD support to option, default on.
2. Support for additional image formats in the Generic Image Library (adds raw,
PNG, TIFF, and JPEG formats). Added as an option, default off.
3. Resolve the problem preventing our *at() functions (like statat() and
openat()) from being detected, it'a Linux-only feature.
4. do-test target provided -- it is of limited utility, because it takes
multiple days and reports a lot of seemingly false problems.
5. Only extract the docs subdirectory, when building boost-docs -- saves some
diskspace during builds. Likewise, when building jam (b2) don't extract other
code.
6. Plist sort, .CURDIR usage optimization.
7. Backport a proper fix for broken function program_location_impl in Boost.DLL

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
