We distribute boost as "super project". Should we continue to do this or distribute libraries on a library by library basis. Does CMake/CPACK etc. make this "simple"?

Here's an idea, we leave our distribution as-is, and let the community step forward and decide if and how they want to package individual libraries. We can make it easier for them by making adjustments as needed. This way the stakeholders have a direct say in how it goes.

Right. This is really a question about deployment of modular Boost. The purpose of this thread is to solicit suggestions as to what a CMake system for Boost should include. I'm aware that CMake includes CPACK which I believe touches upon this subject. I hope that someone who knows more about this than I can supply more information as to whether we should include support for CPACK in the coming list of requirements contained in the forthcoming call for submissions.
