In other The soname bump reflects a change in ABI. The API could have stayed the same. (But of course, sometimes the ABI bump isn't warranted, and sometimes manual intervention is necessary.) Personally, I would welcome such service for Boost bumps. Most of the time, the rebuilds just pass. If I could get e-mails about the 10% or so of problematic packages for closer inspection, and the rest would just rebuild without me having to lift a finger, that would be great.
