Comment(by mcalhoun@…):

 Replying to [comment:12 blb@…]:

 >  - pushing the boost port back to the older version, and bumping epoch;
 this will cause it to be upgraded for everyone to the "new" version; this
 should only be done if the latest version truly has issues and everyone is
 better off with the older version
 I would vote against downgrading.[[BR]]
 I am not aware of any systemic problems with boost that would warrant the
 rollback.

 >  - adding a boostxyz port (boost136 in this case) tied to a specific
 version, when only a few things need that particular version; this has the
 disadvantage that you either can't have both boost ports installed or the
 boostxyz has to be changed to not conflict with the normal boost port
 This is certainly possible.

 One problem with both these suggestions is that boost, while a great
 library, has a build system (bjam) which is tricky to get right.[[BR]]
 MacPorts skipped version 1.36.0, and I would not be eager to apply the
 fixes in r43281 to version 1.36.0.

 I would humbly suggest that we turn off umbrello support for now, then put
 it back when the next version of kdesdk4 is released.
