Subject: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] Dropping slotted boost
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2012 11:30:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50901CB8.20301@flameeyes.eu> (raw)
Given the amount of headaches that Boost seems to give us all, now
thanks to the recent changes even more because Gentoo's boost is
different from all others and no upstream default check seem to work
correctly with it, I'm questioning the usefulness of having it slotted.
Among other things, with each GCC/GLIBC update all but a handful of
slots are kept working; in this case I think most if not all <1.50 are
broken.
So given that it's a PITA for the maintainers, a PITA for the users,
eselect boost has been shown to be a bad idea and so on ... can we just
go back to just install it and that's about it?
Thanks,
