Hi marcs, any update on this?
Even though b2 and bjam is shipped with the official boost, there is still a need for `boost-build.jam`. Maybe removing b2,bjam from this package to avoid conflicts, but keep the boost-build.jam et al files?

edit: just read in PKGBUILD that you did that already, can you upgrade to 1.63 to match the official boost?

Thanks

Hi augusto,

The problem is that the boost package now owns both b2 and bjam files, and instead of removing them without notice to the user, I prefer to set boost as a conflict until I figure out what to do.

It is a strange situation because boost-build is listed as an optional dependency on the official boost package, but now makes no sense with b2 bundled with boost.

Hey, is there a reason not to make this depend on boost instead of conflict with it? I have a custom local package for this where I do "rm -rf ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/" after the "b2 install", and it works great.
