Package: src:openvdb Version: 10.0.1-3 Severity: serious Tags: sid forky ftbfs User: [email protected] Usertags: boost1.90
Dear Maintainer, openvdb either build-depends on libboost-system-dev or depends on it. The boost system library was removed upstream in 1.89, and is empty since 1.69. If this library is referenced in the build system, the library can just be removed from the build system, and the package should continue to build for any boost version newer than 1.69, including boost1.83 in Debian. Boost 1.90 is already in testing, so the package can be cleaned up now. Issues to check: - Remove libboost-system-dev in Depends and Build-Depends. - Adjust autopkg tests and test dependencies if needed. - Scan the build system if the library is used, and remove it from the build system. https://www.boost.org/releases/1.89.0/ has a short paragraph how to do that for cmake. Note that libboost-system-dev is currently virtually provided by libboost-dev_1.90, but that compatibility will be dropped within the next few days. Thanks, Anton
