<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>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.</p>
