[Mageia-dev] Update to boost-1.53 ?

[Barry Jackson]

As mentioned in last week's packager's meeting, there is a problem with 
our gnuradio package, because upstream have blacklisted boost-1.52.
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8789

I have spent considerable time test rebuilding all packages from current 
svn that BuildRequire boost, against boost-1.53 to see if an update of 
boost is viable. (x86_64 only so far)

Fixes have been applied to some packages and now there are just two 
remaining that fail to build:-

libyui

http://mtf.no-ip.co.uk/pub/linux/barjac/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/log/libyui-2.42.4-0.git20130107.3.mga3.src.rpm/build.0.20130328124443.log

vegastrike

log: 
http://mtf.no-ip.co.uk/pub/linux/barjac/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/log/vegastrike-0.5.1-16.mga3.src.rpm/build.0.20130328162253.log

The full list of test built packages is attached.

The alternative to updating boost would be to drop gnuradio from Mageia3.

I invite comments and help to fix these two packages.
