Patching Boost 1.71 for Focal

2020-03-11 Thread Mike Purvis
Hey all, I'm back with another question about patching a package for the Focal release. My concern is about Boost 1.71, which now ships its own native CMake config. Previously, FindBoost.cmake was a module supplied by cmake-data, but now the one from Boost itself takes precedence (as it should).
