Why not? He's the maintainer. > Newer versions of boost are (according to some upstream people, I'm not a C/ > C++ guy) API incompatible and I'm pretty sure, Red Hat will not break API > compatibility of boost. Yes, Boost had some interface changes and many of which are not backward compatible. > So the only way, Red Hat might be walk for themself is like they did e.g. for > postgresql (-> postgresql84) or php (-> php53). If such a thing will ever > happen, we still can obsolete this package. Upgrade the existing package to a new version is the better way (instead of creating a new one), and should not affect existing packages. I see no need for this.
