Replying to [comment:36 gaming-hacker]:
> why doesn't macports create it's own github fork of boost? create
subtrees, apply patches, clean it up, etc. create a custom build bot and
let the bot thrash the updates for regression testing.
Why would we want to do that, as opposed to the method we've always used
for incorporating patches into ports?
If a MacPorts contributor, or anyone, wants to help develop boost, they
can certainly do so in whatever way they want, including forking a
repository and sending pull requests, if that's a contribution method the
developers of boost support. But that needn't have anything to do with how
the MacPorts boost portfile operates.
