libboost-serialization1.35-dev 1.35.0-10ubuntu2 (sparc binary) in ubuntu karmic

 This is a partial list of provided functionalities:
 .
  * proper restoration of pointers to shared data
  * serialization of STL containers and other commonly used templates
  * data portability - streams of bytes created on one platform should
    be readable on any other
  * archive interface must be rich enough to permit the creation of an
    archive that presents serialized data as XML in a useful manner
 .
 serialization: the reversible deconstruction of an arbitrary set of
 C++ data structures to a sequence of bytes.
 archive: to refer to a specific rendering of this stream of bytes.
