[arch-dev-public] monotone needs boost 1.8.x
Hi DEVs, monotone in [extra] does not work with the current boost (FS#17297). It requires explicitly boost < 1.9. It's orphan too. So, we have two possibility now: 1) add boost18 to [extra] 2) move monotone to AUR What do you think about? Regards -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

we didn't have much replies here about what method we should implement. I tend to like 1) more and if there are not complains, i'll commit the changes tonight. -- Ionut

Changed the title to reflect botan not boost dep. Looking at the release notes, monotone appears to ship with an internal version of botan. Can you just use that rather than making an additional package? As an aside, I had never heard of monotone before which makes me think that this could be an AUR candidate. I could be very wrong...

I think I dragged this into the repos a few years ago when it appeared it might become one of the big DVCS tools. This one stayed under the radar compared to git and mercurial, however. Pidgin does use it for what it is worth to manage their codebase. -Dan

I wanted to ask: why did botan get updated to using the development (1.9.x) branch instead of the stable (1.8.x) branch? Arch jumped from 1.8.5 to 1.9.3 back in November. I am all for keeping packages up-to-date, but i am not sure that i agree with hopping to the development branch. I don't follow the botan mailing list at all, but the stable branch is still worked on (now up to 1.8.8). If nothing requires 1.9.x, would it do any harm to revert botan to 1.8.x? No one notice us of this before.
Someone flagged it as out-of-date and I, stupid, updated it without look at upstream site where they say that botan 1.9.x is the development trunk. I am looking if this will broke anything, otherwise I will proceed downgrading botan to 1.8.8. -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

afaik only two packages needs that. +1 for downgrading and rebuilding monotone against it. -- Ionut
