[arch-dev-public] boost rebuild
Hi devs, I did not start it but it was put into testing so we have to deal with it. I have created a todo list: https://dev.archlinux.org/todo/12/ Note: It might be incomplete and I have not checked if a rebuild is needed or already done due to the libjpeg/readline rebuild. -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

That was me. I've tested a good number of the packages and most don't require a rebuild which is odd since in the past it was always a hassle. smc only required a rebuild cause the boost versioned dep had a '=' and not '>='. I'll finish this up. Also I think we should drop bmpx if no one has objections. Doesn't work well and hasn't been updated in more than a year. k -- K. Piche <kpiche@rogers.com>

Just remove those packages from the list that don't need a rebuild.

Sure, why not. This would also include bmp-musepack and bmp-wma which was not rebuild since 2005. -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

Some of the packages boost is really a makedepends cause it has so-called header-only libraries versus the binary libraries. That is, all the features of a library are available by including the header with no *.so to link to. An example would be licq.
Well those packages are for bmp which is also pretty much dead but at least it works. They can go to unsupported. k -- K. Piche <kpiche@rogers.com>
