Package boost: Information

The Boost web site provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source
libraries.  The emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++
Standard Library. One goal is to establish "existing practice" and
provide reference implementations so that the Boost libraries are
suitable for eventual standardization. Some of the libraries have
already been included in the C++ 2011 standard and others have been
proposed to the C++ Standards Committee for inclusion in future
standards.

Although Boost was begun by members of the C++ Standards Committee
Library Working Group, membership has expanded to include nearly two
thousand members of the C++ community at large.
