[kde-freebsd] Headsup: boost-python moved to boost-python-libs

2009-07-29 Thread Dwayne MacKinnon
Hi folks, Just wanted to warn everyone: the boost-python port has been changed to boost- python-libs. This is a bit inconvenient for us, as akonadi relies on boost- python. If you use portupgrade, you should be able to accomplish it by doing a portupgrade -o devel/boost-python-libs boost-python.
