I disagree with boost-devel; it's no need when the 1.37 is stable. Anyway, while you guys are working on patch, I would like you guys to use barner's patch over at http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2008-May/048612.html .. The most important part is: ---------------------------------- Features: - boost and boost-python no longer conflict (boost-python just adds the missing bits) [...] ---------------------------------- That is what we need the most.
