Bug Description

I'm currently developping a software depending on boost and I have compilation issues due to boost 1.49.

http://robotpkg.openrobots.org/rbulk/robotpkg-wip/wip/libmove3d-planners/index.html#libmove3d-planners-1.3.3r3

In ubuntu quantal and raring (12.10, 13.04), the version of boost available is 1.49.0.1 which is a version with critical bugs such as

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6858

which has been fixed in next versions.

Is it possible to update the available version on the repository? Using 1.53.0 like in ubuntu 13.10 would be perfect.

Thanks

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 13.04 reached EOL in 2014.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS offers boost 1.58.

It's generally not possible for new major software upgrades to be released for existing stable Ubuntu releases. If you want newer software, you should upgrade to a supported Ubuntu release that includes that software.
