#1775: Add Boost to ET

 Reporter: Erik Schnetter
   Status: new
Milestone: 
  Version: development version
     Type: enhancement
 Priority: minor
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn

Comment (by Roland Haas):

Boost is getting inconveniently large. Version 1.90 clocks in at 202MB compressed. Version 1.86 is about 140MB (so I don't like that trajectory).

FUKA requires boost with ptree (property tree library) which has been present since forever (well boost 1.35-rc1) so any version that compiles will do. Version 1.55 currently in David's Boost thorn no longer compiles with modern gcc (implicit function declaration is now an error by default).

So there is a question of how modern a Boost we want to provide and how much disk space and download time (and complaints about ballooning size and "useless" code) we are willing to accept.
