Description Igor Krivenko 2012-02-18 00:42:49 UTC

eselect-boost uses "${ROOT}"/usr/lib64/python*/site-packages/mpi.so symlink to switch between different installed versions of Boost.MPI.
However, the official boost documentation states that Boost.MPI Python module
should be imported with "import boost.mpi" (see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/doc/html/mpi/python.html).

I present a patch for boost.eselect which makes eselect-boost manage "${ROOT}"/usr/lib64/python*/site-packages/boost symlink to improve the compliance with the upstream-defined structure of the package.

Reproducible: Always
