Hi there, in accordance with the announced Fedora feature[1][2], we (the Boost maintainers) plan to rebase Boost to 1.47.0 really soon now. Boost 1.47.0 has been released recently and Denis Arnaud kindly did the packaging, so it is ready for scratch builds, smoke testing, and related fun. I'll do that in the next few days and if all comes out green-ish, I'll push the package into Fedora 16 and write a follow-up to this e-mail with guidelines on overcoming the obstacles, if any. Further plans: originally, we hoped that 1.48.0 would be about out by now, and we would manage to get beta into Fedora 16, much like we did with 1.46.0 for Fedora 15. But the Boost schedule slipped, and made any such plans impossible to realize[2]. At the same time, the sentiment of Boost upstream seems to be to (gradually) get back to the original schedule, so we may end up with 1.50.0 in Fedora 17. Handling +3 bump might end up being more interesting than is desirable, so to alleviate this, we will most probably want to do at least one larger rebase mid-Rawhide, either to 1.48.0, or 1.49.0. I'll write more when I know more. Don't hesitate to ping me on irc (_petr) with any concerns that you have.
