[pkg-boost-devel] Fwd: Packaging of boost.compute

[Ghislain Vaillant]

Dear Boost package maintainers,

I have a package (ArrayFire) which depends on boots.compute for its OpenCL
backend. Although boost.compute has been accepted in the Boost family, it
has benn yet to be released.

I heard rumours about it coming in 1.59 but you guys might be more aware of
this than I am. I just wanted to know whether you guys think it is worth to
spending efforts to package boost.compute separately (similar to what is
done with asio ?) or wait until the first official release with Boost comes
out.

According to the official Github repository, Boost.compute only requires
Boost 1.48 or later + OpenCL + optional backend libraries like Eigen,
VTK,...

Let me know what you guys think.

Ghislain
