As far as I could tell, the point of Boost was to try out C++ library ideas. When C++ added a whole lot of things 5-8 years ago, they all seemed to come from Boost. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_(C%2B%2B_libraries) Many of Boost's founders are on the C++ standards <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_14882> committee, and several Boost libraries have been accepted for incorporation into both the C++ Technical Report 1 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B_Technical_Report_1> and the C++11 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B11> standard. There are certain libraries that always should be installed from a git repo. It's always a pain to find out which ones those are. sdw On 4/11/19 2:59 PM, J.
