Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
Hi, Clearly this transition won't be acted upon until after the wheezy release is done. However, I'm filing the bug now so that we can track the build failure bugs related to updating boost. Source package boost-defaults provides "libboost-dev" and similar unversioned -dev packages that depend on a "default" versioned package such as libboost1.49-dev. I would like to change Debian's default boost version from 1.49 to 1.53 or later -- likely to the most current Boost at the time the transition is scheduled. This change does not directly impact any binary packages. However, it will affect the buildability of source packages.
