Re: GSoC 2016 Project not merged into Octave yet

Dear Amr,

As Philip said you did a good job!
We are currently trying to pot as much as we can form your code in to
geometry, but we do not want to add Boost as a complete dependency. If
you could clean up that, the it is more likely we can add it to
geometry. It is beyond my available time to do this myself.

Also remember, you can always have a separate package (e.g.
external[1]) you maintain yourself which depends on geometry. In your
case the package will contain only th boost dependent files and the
configuration and compilation commands. Here is a potential
