Description Dan Kozlowski 2007-04-13 12:30:17 UTC
The dev-cpp/asio Package has the ability to be integrated into the Boost libraries 
But there is not that Option in the E-build, It may be as simple as pointing the ebuild to download the tar file for the integrated package  
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/asio/boost_asio_0_3_7.tar.bz2?modtime=1150762229&big_mirror=0

Reproducible: Always

I'm sorry, but we won't do that, because:
a) dev-cpp/asio provides the same functionality as boost_asio does with the only difference that the boost_asio classes live in the boost namespace and that some header-files are being rearranged.
b) it has been added to boost, you can expect it to be shipped with boost-1.35
c) it will be (partially) part of C++ TR2
d) boost_asio is meant to be built together with boost itself (read the Readme.txt) and I don't see a way to build it outside
