Somewhat, yes. There's a PR for the update: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246106 The cause of the delay is this: If we update boost, we test-build all the depends. If there are errors, the maintainers of those depending ports should fix those errors. That's not always easy, possible or the maintainer is busy with other things. -- p...@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 Now what ?
