[arch-general] Update to Boost Libraries
Is there a reason why boost libraries are stuck to version 1.72 when 1.74 are already available? I cannot find anything on the bug tracker. Thank you. -- Best Jayesh Badwaik

Hi, How long has the updated version been available? If it was just released then it will take some time for it to get packaged. If it has been a while, you can flag the package out of date through the web interface. Cheers, Yash
Hi, The package has been market out of date for quite some time now (almost 4 months) [0]. One release has now actually been skipped (1.73). -- Jayesh Badwaik https://jayeshbadwaik.github.io [0] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/boost/

Nah unfortunately it has been for a while. I'm very much involved in other time consuming parts lately and hence trying to find a new maintainer that coordinates the massive rebuilds and patches required on each bump. However so far I was unlucky after third time of asking on irc. I will bump this on our ML and hopefully finally find someone motivated and having time for this task.
Hi, I also asked me that question some time ago... boost 1.72 was flagged out of date on 2020-04-28, but is still in the repos. Since then 1.73 was released on 2020-04-28 1.74 was released on 2020-08-14 Greetings Mathias Am 07.10.20 um 23:58 schrieb karx via arch-general:
