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.
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?
In this special case, because it caused data loss of probably very important files (hence encrypted) _without_ prior warning. But there seems to be a trend starting in this direction which worries me a little. IIRC there is nothing holding back Xorg 1.8 except for legacy nvidia drivers, and that for quite a while. If that is true, it's even more depressing for me, since nobody waited for us poor ATI R500 users when catalyst dropped support. :)
