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 |
|
32 |
Thanks for letting us know |

Regards, |
