Description Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2013-03-12 19:47:53 UTC 
Upstream blacklisted boost-1.52.0 due to broken thread_group::join_all() and automagically disables functionality when that version is found.

To avoid users getting nonfunctional gnuradio, I added a dependency
!<=dev-libs/boost-1.52.0-r6:0/1.52

If a fix is applied to 1.52.0 we can override cmake detection with -DENABLE_BAD_BOOST=True

I confirm, I have just...
Comment 2 Mike Auty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-03-18 11:30:54 UTC 
The dependency blocks all versions less than or equal to 1.52.0 (ie, there's no version of boost available that portage thinks will work with gnuradio-3.6.4).  Shouldn't it just blacklist 1.52.0 and allow lower versions?
Comment 3 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2013-03-18 14:37:43 UTC 
Old versions of boost are allowed:

# emerge -pv boost:0/0 gnuradio

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Ah, you're right, sorry.  I missed the slotting on the dependency.  Unfortunately I have other packages dependent upon a more recent boost (mongodb)...
Comment 5 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2013-08-25 14:40:43 UTC 
gnuradio users will have to use boost-1.53
