Hi, I'm cc-ing to debian-devel since I expect others are wondering about the Boost status.

I assume you're speaking of boost-defaults -- the unversioned libboost-dev packages. Yes, these are still pointing to Boost v1.42. I always wait for the boostX.Y package to transition to "testing" before updating boost-defaults. Boost 1.46 just transitioned this week, so normally I would be uploading a new boost defaults. However, Boost is planning to make a point release (v1.46.1) -- the first time in years -- to fix a few troubling bugs so I had planned to skip 1.46 and update defaults directly to 1.46.1. In fact, I tried to keep boost 1.46 out of unstable by filing a bug but I was a bit late and it made the transition already. I see now that Boost 1.46.1 is now out, so I'll build and upload it today. When it transitions to unstable, I'll update the boost-defaults. Does this plan work for everyone? Thanks, -Steve
