Missing files under boost/align?

[yixuan]

I noticed that in the align folder, some files are missing compared with the official Boost repository, see
eddelbuettle/bh and boostorg/align.

Is it intentional to reduce package size?

[eddelbuettel]

Unintentional side effect from not officially including align. The files we have were "pulled in": See how we bcp over two sets of packages in this script.

Do you need the align library?

[yixuan]

I see. I have a package that is using a library replying on align, and that's why I noticed this difference. This package is just for my personal use, and I just need to link to the system boost headers. No worries.

We could keep this open and add it next time ...

[yixuan]

Great. I could reopen it when the next release of Boost arrives.

[eddelbuettel]

Let's reopen now and leave it here so that neither one of us forgets. :)

[yixuan]

Thanks! I almost forgot this issue. 😄

Sorry for the delay. Other packages kept me busy. Now waiting on one or two packages to make changes before this goes to CRAN.
