Great, thanks. It's been accepted already, you should have received mail
about that. :-)
Could you prepare a mail to d-d-a, explaining that we're back to
unversioned development packages for Boost, and that everybody should be
looking into build-depending on these? In particular, this needs
mentioning:
* everybody who's depending on versioned pacakges should look into
moving to the unversioned packages; if they were using boost 1.38
already, this implies no change and it'll just work; if they were
using an earlier version, it'll imply making sure the package builds
with 1.38 when uploading
* if they were still using unversioned packages, it would be great
if they could verify whether the packages continue to build with
1.38 now, and make an upload if that's not the case. Bin-NMUs will
be scheduled later on, and it'll be great if the maintainers have
had an opportunity to check for failures and fix them already.
And then, include a list of maintainers for both groups.
If you can't take care of such post, please let me know and somebody
from the Release Team will take care.
Cheers,
