Each R package should include ../../math/R/Makefile.extension, which also
defines MASTER_SITES. Consequently, it is redundant for the individual
packages to do the same. Package-specific definitions also prevent
redefining MASTER_SITES in a single common place.
Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. A
large part of Boost is provided as C++ template code which is resolved
entirely at compile-time without linking. This package aims to
provide the most useful subset of Boost libraries for template use
among CRAN package. By placing these libraries in this package, we
offer a more efficient distribution system for CRAN as replication of
this code in the sources of other packages is avoided. As of release
1.65.0-1, the following Boost libraries are included: 'algorithm'
'align' 'any' 'atomic' 'bimap' 'bind' 'circular_buffer' 'compute'
'concept' 'config' 'container' 'date'_'time' 'detail' 'dynamic_bitset'
'exception' 'filesystem' 'flyweight' 'foreach' 'functional' 'fusion'
'geometry' 'graph' 'heap' 'icl' 'integer' 'interprocess' 'intrusive'
'io' 'iostreams' 'iterator' 'math' 'move' 'mpl' 'multiprcecision'
'numeric' 'pending' 'phoenix' 'preprocessor' 'propery_tree' 'random'
'range' 'scope_exit' 'smart_ptr' 'sort' 'spirit' 'tuple' 'type_traits'
'typeof' 'unordered' 'utility' 'uuid'.
