I rebuilt these as well. Strictly speaking, they don't need to be rebuilt. They don't have any dependency on the version of boost that the rest of the distro uses. In some cases it's possible that another package that depends on boost libs and cairomm libs will encounter some incompatibility between the Boost releases, but this doesn't happen often in practice. When we update boost in rawhide we never rebuild the packages that only depend on boost headers from boost-devel (although often they get rebuilt anyway by a mass rebuild after the boost update, but the mass rebuild happened first this time). > It’s probably worth looking into the process for finding and rebuilding dependent packages to see why these were not rebuilt, as there must be many other packages that also should have been rebuilt but were not. The process to find them is a reqoquery using --whatrequires libboost\* and is correct. It did find all three of luminance-hdr, cpp-hocon and usd, so I'm not sure why rebuilds weren't issued for them. I'll check to see if that happened to other packages. Thanks for pointing it out. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
