Package: boost1.71 Version: 1.71.0-7 Severity: normal I maintain the package "ecflow" which uses libboost-python-dev. Now with the transition to python3.9, ecflow will support (where possible) multiple python versions. Currently it supports python3.8 but not python3.9 ; this may be fixed in a binNMU or next version, but I cannot tell whether my failure to build python3.9 support for ecflow is due to missing py3.9 support in boost, or a bug in my packaging.
Can some mechanism be added to enable tracability ?
