Hello, Boost 1.40 has just been accepted into Debian, joining versions 1.39 and 1.38 already present. Since we'd like to limit Debian to the latest 2 boost releases [1], I'd like to have 1.38 removed. The 5 packages in the "To:" line are the only ones that currently build-depend specifically on one of the Boost 1.38 -dev packages. Removing Boost 1.38 would break these packages. To each of those maintainers: please check whether your package will build with Boost 1.39 or 1.40. Let me know soon if it cannot, as otherwise I will request removal of 1.38 next week. If possible, please consider using the unversioned -dev packages that build against the default version of Boost, to avoid this issue in future. Thanks, -Steve [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2009/03/msg00274.html
