Package: fritzing Version: 0.7.10b-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Fritzing uses an embedded copy of boost to build. While not outright prohibited by policy, it is discouraged. The attached patch will switch fritizing to build with the archive boost. I've tested with boost 1.49 and it does build.
