Hi Dirkjan, |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Few of my packages depend on boost therefore I don't want to see this |
| 26 |
package rotten on the tree. However, I do not have the hardware to |
| 27 |
perform any kind of build testing to this package because it requires a |
| 28 |
significant amount of resources during compilation phase. I will add |
| 29 |
myself on metadata.xml but I will try to find a couple of users to help |
| 30 |
me maintain it and become proxy maintainer for them. |
| 31 |
|

Thanks for letting us know |
| 33 |

Regards, |
