Hello! I've found that media-libs/assimp is not requiring boost for build. It is confirmed in https://github.com/assimp/assimp/issues/409#issuecomment-328022103. Please, drop such dep, as it's a huge library.
The bug has been closed via the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=054f5ce87ab5e96a7224e2e396f897472d0d8f62 commit 054f5ce87ab5e96a7224e2e396f897472d0d8f62 Author: Paul Zander <negril.nx+gentoo@gmail.com> AuthorDate: 2023-12-15 16:50:01 +0000 Commit: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2024-01-20 12:26:30 +0000 media-libs/assimp: add 5.2.5-r2, add 5.3.1 Rework tests to make use of gtest via ctest. Some tests generate random input data which might fail on fma-enabled CPUs due to smaller rounding errors on fused operations, so we repeat those tests until they succeed.
