Hi Nick,

Also, if you're using bootstrap.py for building, you can change the location of the boost tarball. By default, the anonymous location is "http://cci.lbl.gov/repositories/boost.gz", but you can change it. You will probably want to host it somewhere so that you can control the contents. Otherwise, you get everything, which can be large. Also, the Boost https site does not seem to work with curl.

It's possible, but you need to make a few changes in the scons scripts.
That's how Linux distros (Debian and Gentoo) and CCP4 are building cctbx.
