Replying to [comment:5 ryandesign]:
> But each port needs to be tested with each new version of boost to
verify that it still builds. That's much easier to do on a case by case
basis with separate versioned boost ports. It was enough of a problem that
the significant effort to create versioned boost ports and the boost
portgroup was undertaken.
Agree with Ryan here. Especially given that specifically Boost 1.87+ had
breaking changes in APIs, and it is nowhere guaranteed it gonna work. I am
pretty sure a lot of older ports gonna break down, unless set to 1.76
explicitly.
