# The devel/boost port

## boost-1.53.0p5 – free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries

## Description

    Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.

    Boost emphasizes libraries that work well with the C++ Standard
    Library.  Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and
    usable across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license
    encourages both commercial and non-commercial use.

    Boost aims to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
    implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
    standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the
    C++ Standards Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) as a step
    toward becoming part of a future C++ Standard. More Boost libraries
    are proposed for the upcoming TR2.
