There is a ticket with a more recent boost:
http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/17966
It basically works on linux. It needs love on OS X because
boost's build system has no idea there is such a thing as
"install_name" on OS X and it proves being one of the fatal
problems on "El Capitan".
Other things needed is a spkg-src script to purge the tarball
from heavy stuff that's not used.

sage --package update boost 1.58 --url=...
*VERY* nice idea ! But it can't be applied to Boost, which is
distributed via @#!&! Sourceforge and therefore has no stable URL...
I'll try to do that "à l'ancienne"...

Sage graphs also use boost
If you need a newer version the go ahead and package it!

Dear list,
I just discovered that Sage installs a Boost library
(it's, curiously, called boost-cropped, but according to
its SPKG.txt, currently contains all of Boost, without
patches).
The current version is 1.52. I discovered that this
version is too old at least for the rstan package of R
(a diabolically efficient MCMC sampler), which needs
Boost>=1.58. See this thread on stan-users
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/stan-users/XygoXG0SoTM>
for details.
Hence two questions :
1) What in Sage uses Boost ?
2) Is someone maintaining it ?
Sincerely yours,
