# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| boost-compat: boost-compat (Boost C++ Libraries) boost-compat: boost-compat: Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. boost-compat: The emphasis is on libraries that work well with the C++ Standard boost-compat: Library.
