Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2012-08-31 10:37:32 UTC
The stupid heuristic done in boost.m4 always prefers newest /usr/include/boost-X_YY, and doesn't provide any way to specify an older version (in case the package doesn't work with the newest boost).

I think we found a way to solve it.
