Description

as titled.

Since we only used components of boost in the cmake

find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS system filesystem
             # required by folly
             context program_options regex thread)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the root CMakeLists.txt to see the current Boost find package command. Then modify the installation step (likely in a script or Dockerfile) to only download and build the Boost system, filesystem, context, program options, regex, and thread libraries. Refer to Boost's bcp tool or CMake's ExternalProject to selectively include components.
