I appreciate that it would be nice. If, however, the fix does not make the first cut for Lenny, your code has the option of working around the bug by adding #include <boost/mpl/and.hpp> before including <boost/serialization/utility.hpp>. It's not elegant, but it should work. In addition, there is the possibility to push a patched Boost into the first Lenny update. > However, it's not critical as kdevplatform itself is not > targeted for lenny. Basically it's your call :) OK. Boost is kind of fragile in that nearly every upload of it fails to build (at least temporarily) on one architecture or another. So I am sticking to my original plan of no uploads to unstable until Lenny is out the door. Sorry :-) -Steve
