Hi Dave,note that Boost-1.48 has been packaged for EPEL 5 and 6, but not yet approved: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=921134In case it is useful to anyone, do not hesitate to approve it :)And if there is more love, we could even embark on the way to package Boost-1.54 for EPEL... But that is another story.
That's good to hear because it's always good to have options, but newer versions just bring up the question of a "moving target". Just like how you mentioned 1.54, if we're shooting for newer versions, then why not go with that one, or 1.55 after it? The point of RHEL is a stable platform and development environment and chasing the newest version of a library (especially one as volatile as Boost) just doesn't seem to fit the RHEL mentality.
