Description Michael Jones 2020-01-22 21:37:06 UTC

A fix for boost::process breaking with recent boost::asio changes was not included in the 1.72 release.

See here for more details:

What problem does the patch fix? Where and how does that problem manifest? You can't just point to a recent commit and state we all need this. You have to show proper cause.

Comment 3 Michael Jones 2020-01-22 22:53:20 UTC

C++ Programs that use boost::process::std_in, boost::process::std_out, or boost::process::std_err when calling boost::process::async_system() will fail to compile.

I recommend you keep this patch in /etc/portage/patches and wait till 1.73 hits the tree, given that boost just went stable.

1.74 just went stable.
