Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2017-02-01 12:37:15 UTC 
librevenge states boost as RDEPEND+DEPEND (with slot op). However, it seems that boost is only used in a few .cpp files, via header-only libraries. The library doesn't link against boost, and its headers do not include boost's headers. 

Therefore, I think the dependency on boost should be moved to pure DEPEND.
