Hi!
Ceph has moved to Boost 1.75, so now it is build with the project.
Which is of course a pity.
Are there any plans to also get Boost 1.75 in ports?
There is this one PR which touches the topic:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246106
It looks like a major undertaking!
Why is that?
If I look at what is in phabricator, the largest part is diffs on the
plist?
I don't think office@ currently has enough manpower to maintain boost
ports. I suggest we need to seek a new maintainer or form a group to
maintain it.
I am also interested in updating boost, but I don't think I can
maintain it solely. I can help on porting, allocating resource to
test, but I don't think I can fix all the issues during upgrading and
exp-run myself alone. I hope the maintenance of the complex ports
like this can be a team work.
Is anyone interested in joining the effort?
I am importing boost 1.75 raw into Ceph, and build it there.
That seems to work for what ceph needs.
There used to be several versions of Boost in parallel.
So perhaps that is the best way to avoid having to deal with ABI/API
breakage...
After that it is up to the maintainers of the dependant packages to
update their package and start using boost-1.75.
The report in bugzilla suggests that that is all what other maintainers ask.
Or am I too simple in thinking this?
