Starting with 1.69.0, boost added a bjam option for the default symbol
visibility. Up to 1.68.0, the value was always 'global'. 1.69.0
changed the default to 'hidden' but added an option.
Most packages will work with hidden and won't notice. But some
packages may discover that an interface that they rely on is now
hidden and inaccessible.

Improve management of the Fiber library and C++ standard support:
* Remove Fiber from list of libraries to build
* Improve variant management for Fiber; add variants for Context and
Coroutine libraries.
* Add known conflict with C++17 for boost < 1.63.0
* Remove C++ standard "default" option, which left the choice of
C++ standard to the compiler used to build boost
* Add 'fiber' as a default library for boost
* Add autoconf/automake etc. dependencies to libseccomp package
* New package: brotli
* New package: editline
* Add brotli, editline, boost dependencies to Nix
Fixes issues #9613 and #3209.
Remove the spack wrapper directories from PATH for the bootstrap step.
This was breaking the build for Cray (and other cross-compile) because
bjam was built for the BE and died on SIGILL on the FE.
This only affects building bjam. The boost libraries are still built
the normal spack way with the spack wrappers.
- remove the old LGPL license headers from all files in Spack
- add SPDX headers to all files
- core and most packages are (Apache-2.0 OR MIT)
- a very small number of remaining packages are LGPL-2.1-only
The following improvements are made to cxx standard support
(e.g. compiler.cxxNN_flag functions) in compilers:
* Add cxx98_flag property
* Add support for throwing an exception when a flag is not supported (previously
if a flag was not supported the application was terminated with tty.die)
* The name of the flag associated with e.g. c++14 standard support changes for
different compiler versions (e.g. c++1y vs c++14). This makes a few corrections
on what flag to return for which version.
* Added tests to confirm that versions report expected flags for various c++
standards (or raise an exception for versions that don't provide a given cxx
standard)
Note that if a given cxx standard is the default, the associated flag property will
return ""; cxx98 is assumed to be the default standard so this is the behavior for
the associated property in the base compiler class.
Package changes:
* Improvements to the boost spec to take advantage of the improved standard
flag facility.
* Update the clingo spec to catch the new exception rather than look for an
empty flag to indicate non-support (which is not part of the compiler flag API)
* fix boost and muparser for Clang 9.1.0 with C++17
* muparser: add C++11 flags
* dealii: temporary disable python by default
* dealii: make CMake find right python
* explicitly specify user-config.jam as it isn't found
via the environment variable on older boost versions
(cf. what debian/rules does)
=> fixes +mpi build
* fix "error: Ambiguous key" error on :1.58.999 boost
(cf. https://github.com/boostorg/boost/blob/boost-1.59.0/bootstrap.sh#L357)
* Add a new +clanglibcpp option for Boost
Currently, the compile of boost with clang will use the stdlibc++. This patch adds an optional flag to use clangs included libc++ instead.
* Linting
Fix long lines and white space errors
1.64 had issues serialization (make_array and others) when built with
+mpi+python. It appears that those issues are fixed in 1.65.1
so we can remove preferred tag from 1.63.
Adds a development version of boost, based on their github master
repo.
Git clones the submodules forever, but installs! :)
Useful for testing since boost tends to break complex software
dependencies quite often. This helps testing it before releases.
Previously, when +graph and +mpi were enabled, the graph library
was replaced with the graph_parallel library. This alters the
logic for +graph+mpi to build both libraries.
Earlier versions of boost had a fixed maximum number of jobs. 1.54
was 64, it bumped once or twice afterwards and in 1.59 [this
commit][commit] it became dynamic.
I need 1.54 for as a prereq for bcl2fastq but I can't build 1.54 on my
144 core build box.
This fixes that.

* Added magma package
* Incorporated Serban's change
* boost-pgi: Add support for PGI compiler
There are two patches required:
(1) general fixes required by PGI
(2) workaround for a bug in PGI 17.4

I need boost@1.54.0 for bcl2fastq2. I tested bcl2fastq2 using the
system compiler (gcc@4.8.5). My full build uses a spack-build
gcc@5.4.0.
boost@1.54.0 won't build. I found the answer
[here](https://github.com/hashdist/hashstack/issues/802) with the
details in [this upstream/boost
ticket](https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/10125).
I've confirmed that these combo's build:
boost version| compiler
------------ | ------------------
boost@1.54.0 | gcc@4.8.5 (system)
boost@1.54.0 | gcc@5.4.0 (Spack)
boost@1.64.0 | gcc@5.5.0 (system)
