Hi, I've just created a change proposal to update Boost in rawhide to the latest upstream package, 1.73.0, due out any day now. This will include Boost.Nowide, so I think the standalone boost-nowide currently in Fedora should be retired for F33. The alternative would be to omit the nowide library from the main boost package, but I don't see any great advantage to doing that. Another significant change is that upstream Boost no longer installs the 'bjam' executable, which we ship in the boost-jam subpackage. That executable was renamed to 'b2' nine years ago[1] but Fedora has only ever shipped it as the old name, bjam. Since upstream no longer installs 'bjam' I'm going to replace the boost-jam package with boost-b2 which provides /usr/bin/b2. It would be possible to install it as both bjam and b2 for one release to give users a chance to transition, although my guess is that while bjam is available nobody will change, and so it just delays the switch for a release. As far as I can tell, no packages in Fedora make use of boost-jam or /usr/bin/bjam so this only affects users' own code (and I don't know how many people use bjam/b2 for their own projects).
