Description

Boost provides the functionality to generate a namespaced copy of all its implementations. This means that you can have a private copy of Boost in your library that will not come into conflict with other Boost installations in your setting. While for e.g. conda-forge a good ecosystem exists that provides the unique Boost version, in the setting of the manylinux1 wheels we have no control over which other Boost version exists.
