I did a full rebuild before starting, but those results are not as relevant any more due to the sheer amount of issues fixed. The best buildability estimate at the moment is: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/transitions/boost1.53.html Which is still transition in progress. Please note a few issues that are still open in debian, have been uploaded into ubuntu: * http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=704044 ( ogre transition, closed in error, now reopened ) * http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=704045 ( qt4 moc fix ) * http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=701288 ( example of underlinking) I have yet to see a gcc4.8 specific FTBFS that has not been filed in debian BTS or otherwise known (for example as the case is with aptitude boost-thread dependency on boost-system and dropping of "-mt" compat symlinks are the "biggest" problems so far. My current plan to is to continue process with the transition, now that I am back & file bugs with patches. All bugs so far are marked as blocking this transition. IMHO it's easier to schedule binNMUs rather than uploading patches to transition things. And I will do a new proper rebuild soonish.
