My concern on co-existance of devel/boost and devel/boost138 is how to make build systems of other applications search in 1.38-specific directory for headers before /usr/local/inclde. Is it easy for any arbitrary application with any arbitrary build system? I consider this port (devel/boost138) a temporary solution. Others: (a) Having only one most recent version in devel/boost (b) Having many versions without the default one. (c) Having many versions with default devel/boost referring to some particular version. Here (b) and (c) do not install unversioned header files under /usr/local/include/boost. Currently all activity that I know is about the first (a) option. And all efforts are to fix port that depend on boost to let them use 1.38. For example, I've just started examining print/lyx and print/lyx15. > Maybe some "too smart for their own good" configure scripts that would > pick up incorrect (mismatching) directories while searching for boost? Yes, however, I haven't tried this yet.
