John Hein <z7dr6ut7gs at snkmail.com> has reassigned Bugzilla Automation
<bugzilla at FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to office at FreeBSD.org:
Bug 225589: devel/boost-python-libs: missing items from plist
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225589



--- Description ---
If you have math/py-numpy installed, then build the devel/boost-python-libs
port, check-plist will have the following errors:

====> Checking for pkg-plist issues (check-plist)
===> Parsing plist
===> Checking for items in STAGEDIR missing from pkg-plist
Error: Orphaned: lib/libboost_numpy.a
Error: Orphaned: lib/libboost_numpy.so
Error: Orphaned: lib/libboost_numpy.so.%%BOOST_SHARED_LIB_VER%%


One fix would be to make math/py-numpy be a dependency (presumably RUN_ or
LIB_, but I haven't checked).  That is a pretty heavy dependency for someone
who doesn't want to install numpy.

Another is to make the numpy dependency an option and force the build to not
build the libboost_numpy library if that option is off (I don't know the
bjam/Boost.Build magic to tell it not to build the boost_numpy lib right now).
