Try to find out if boost 1.37 is binary compatible with boost 1.34. If so, then we could update it to the actual version without breaking the ports depending on it, IMHO. I made this a question to the boost irc channel and got only the answer that this is doubtable so far. 2.) We should think of one or two alternative boost port(s) like devel/boost137 and devel/boost138. All depending ports must be made dependant to devel/boost137 then. Other ports also keep two ports with their (often major) release numbers and switch dependent ports back and forth to the right port release number. I'd prefer the second because there are less side effects and problems possible. Also please note that http://home.leo.org isn't accessible anymore. Hopefully someone, preferrably Alexander, has the 1.35 patch from Simon to check whether it's easy to bump the port to 1.37 easily. I also agree to send a PR. /Flex
