Thanks Ken! i think we can start with a customized boost-devel rpm.spec recipe, so it installs the built artifacts into /opt. ideally, we should could maintain the .spec file in a separated repo along with the debian/ directory, as they will share the same branching scheme which maps its branches to ceph/ceph's branches. does this make sense to you? > > - Ken -- Regards Kefu Chai
