It's very hard and time consuming to detect whether a particular library from boost breaks the ABI. I have no automated test suite to verify that and there are no resources for creating one. I am for changing version at every release, since this is what's suggested by boost. However, as a maintainer I'll accept any decision of FreeBSD ports team. Thus, can I be officially instructed what to do? I see following options: 1) Change shared objects version on every release. 2) Change shared objects version on every major release and also if an issue was discovered. 3) Decide myself. Sincerely, Alexander Churanov, maintainer of devel/boost
