Oliver, In brief, you'll get boost-1.38 (and then 1.39) very soon, but probably not in /usr/local/include/boost.
The main issue in updating deve/boost is in large number of ports that depend on it. This work is in progress and there is some real progress with it. As for the alternate port of 1.38 with non-system (versioned) layout - I've just created that and going to present it and start a discussion in a few days after doing some testing. I'm sure that after 1.38 is ported, 1.39 will be ported with minimal delay, since I hope there are no new decisions to make. The status of porting is recorded at http://wiki.freebsd.org/BoostPortingProject. Alexander Churanov, maintainer of devel/boost P.S. Regarding the subject of the message: I hardly recognized that it's relevant to me. Plain text "boost" or (and better) "devel/boost" increases chances for the message to be answered. It really easy to overlook a fancy-titled message. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
