Hey, this is mainly targeted at the maintainers of boost/boost-libs, but others are free to check it out, I have reworked the PKGBUILD for boost/boost-libs and I have managed to update the beast to 1.46.0 I have a full file [1] and a diff [2] against the previous version (1.45.0). I have also built the PKGBUILD for both i686 and x86_64 in clean chroots and provided the results [3]. Notable changes include: * bump version to 1.46.0 * enable icu support in regex * fix FS#22370 - [boost] does not include MPI [4] * fix FS#22471 - [boost-libs] no libboost_thread.so [5] * minor PKGBUILD cleanups Disabling single thread building and just building the multithreaded libs cut the number of files in boost-libs by about a half :) I was also told by upstream there isn't a need for enabling single threaded support. The only boost bug open is FS#22178 - [boost/boost-libs] Support for Python 3 [6] and I tried enabling support, but got errors, so it will just have to wait. Upstream doubts they support the latest python3.2, which I was told in irc.
