Does anyone know what's going on with boost? It seems it was downgraded from 1.42.0 to 1.41.0 a while back, and hasn't been updated to the latest 1.43.0.
I was going to build the latest on my machine, but if there's something wrong with it I might hold off or go with the older version. I know there was some talk about splitting it up; is that the reason?
From memory 1.42 broke encfs. The encfs developers blame boost, the boost developers blame encfs, so nothing was done in recent updates from either side.
So we either update boost or break encfs...
encfs devs released a new version which works with > 1.41.
yesterday i built 1.43 but the splitting is holding me back. It has a very annoying build system and until now we have in the bugtracker one which is copying files around from a directory to another. FS#19749
What's the issue here though? We have a working split package and everyone is happy? Bjam is a crappy build system but until CMake is more actively maintained by Boost (last boost-cmake release was 1.41) it'll have to do. Boost is an important part of C++ development, it should not go without update in Arch.
Wow, this is kind of depressing. Why would some package in community block an established library from being upgraded in extra?
