Details

Since the headers of yaml-cpp include boost headers, boost is actually needed to compile software against yaml-cpp. For instance, compiling asciiportal-git from the AUR without installing boost fails:

In file included from /usr/include/yaml-cpp/node/node.h:17:0,
from /usr/include/yaml-cpp/yaml.h:16,
from src/ap_maps.cpp:6:
/usr/include/yaml-cpp/node/ptr.h:11:32: fatal error: boost/shared_ptr.hpp: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Thus, I think that boost should be moved to depends instead of makedepends.
This task depends upon

No, boost should be added as a makedepend of asciiportal-git instead.

Yes, sorry, you are right. I was confused by the fact that it's only a header issue. Indeed, to *use* something built with yaml-cpp, the boost headers are useless, so they should not be a dependency.
