[Mageia-dev] Update to boost-1.53 ?

Sun Mar 31 11:47:02 CEST 2013

As mentioned in last week's packager's meeting, there is a problem with 
+our gnuradio package, because upstream have blacklisted boost-1.52.
+https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8789
+
+I have spent considerable time test rebuilding all packages from current 
+svn that BuildRequire boost, against boost-1.53 to see if an update of 
+boost is viable. (x86_64 only so far)
+
+Fixes have been applied to some packages and now there are just two 
+remaining that fail to build:-
+
+libyui

+vegastrike
+
+log: 
+http://mtf.no-ip.co.uk/pub/linux/barjac/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/log/vegastrike-0.5.1-16.mga3.src.rpm/build.0.20130328162253.log
+
+The full list of test built packages is attached.
+
+The alternative to updating boost would be to drop gnuradio from Mageia3.
+
+I invite comments and help to fix these two packages.
