Folks,
I've read the conversation on ports/156253 ("Update devel/boost-* from
1.45 to 1.46.1") and decided to share current status of my work.
I have a patch for updating Boost to 1.48.0.
http://alexanderchuranov.com/boost-port/boost-145-to-148-v05.diff
Yes, I know that 1.19 is already released. However, I think that it
will be much more easier to update 1.48 to 1.49 later on than this
huge year-long jump from 1.45.
The patch includes fixes for several ports:
graphics/aqsis
net-p2p/eiskaltdcpp-lib
net-p2p/libtorrent-rasterbar-14
x11-toolkits/gigi
I was only testing on 8.2/i386. The ports, which fail after applying
the patch are:
fail because of outdated use of Boost.Filesystem
devel/libYGP
games/galaxyhack
graphics/luxrender
fail because of Qt Moc-specific error
astro/merkaartor
cad/openscad
math/py-graphtool
multimedia/gstreamer-qt4
fail for other reasons
deskutils/kdepim4
devel/sdts++
devel/simgear
editors/koffice-kde4
editors/libreoffice
games/fgrun
games/frogatto
games/lander
games/openlierox
games/plee-the-bear
I believe that errors related to Boost.Filesystem are easy to fix. As
for the Moc failing on BOOST_JOIN, it requires patching Qt. I hesitate
to include the fix into my patch, since it would require rebuilding
more ports. The workaround (patch) is available at
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-22829 .
I'm not sure what is the best way to proceed with the update. There is
a set (maybe, mix?) of possible options: fixing ports, marking them as
broken, etc. I need an advice, especially from folks, who work with Qt
and the failing ports.
Let's coordinate with each other and decide what to do next.
