Eventually we could repocopy devel/boost to devel/boost-devel then update devel/boost-devel to 1.37 and have maintainers (and the community) decide whether they like to adapt their ports to the current version. If anyone can submit a working boost 1.37 port (preferably a patch against devel/boost) I'd be glad to take over that task. Emanuel
