Package only Boost headers, not the full source distribution

claude · fumitoh · commit 38ff047dabed · 2026-02-25T23:40:55.000+09:00
The packaging step was copying the entire extracted Boost source tree (libs/, tools/, doc/, status/, etc.) into the distribution zip. Only the boost/ headers subdirectory is needed for compiling against QuantLib. This eliminates the majority of files from the downloadable. https://claude.ai/code/session_01BHkqy2bRJgJdgTNNeHNVHt
