why can't mir depend on unversioned boost?

ok, that doesn't explain why it can't be unversioned.

Then I noticed that it depends on the library package instead of the -dev package (i.e. it's not explicitly pulling in the package containing the relevant .so file), so it seems even more broken to me.

Really that should be 'libboost-filesystem-dev, libboost-system-dev' and nothing else, IMHO.
I'll prepare a bzr MR, given that the mir teams seems to be working with those, and I do not think the mir team would appreciate a direct upload.

Thank you for merging!

What is the expected time frame for the next upload to the archive, containing this change?

Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) wrote :

That's on trunk right now so we're looking at next cycle: 1.0

If it's safe enough for zesty however we could try scheduling it for 0.26.3
which does not have a timeframe right now. We are working on releasing 0.26.2 at present.

Mattia Rizzolo (mapreri) wrote :

I'd really appreciate if it could be scheduled for 0.26.2, actually. It's a packaging-only change, making progress on a transition. I'm not involved in this boost transition myself, but I know I hate any kind of delay. Besides, to me it looks like mir is the last actionable package on the list before boost1.61 removal (if it was in my power I'd just remove the other 2).

Balint Reczey (rbalint) wrote :

@Mattia: From the linked bug it seems reverse build dependencies needed those libs listed. I haven't tried changing those to unversioned depends, because IMO at this stage a safe fix like this one is more appropriate.
The fix for both other transitioning packages are on their way, no need to remove them. :-)

@Daniel: I'm running ratt soon for reverse dependencies, but build an piuparts went fine and I consider this a safe fix.

Resolved on #ubuntu-mir...

<mapreri> if you are fine with people uploading the package directly to the archive we can work it out, i.e. I upload a -2 as soon at 0.26.2-1 is uploaded, but then your next upload done through whatever CI should contain it.
<alan_g> mapreri: that would work for me
<mapreri> I have no idea how bileto (or whatever kind of CI/landing system) you are using work
<mapreri> oh, great
<mapreri> so, what would be the timing for 0.26.2 to land? :)
<alan_g> mapreri: out of my hands, first QA need to approve and then someone needs to push to archive. But I'd guess the next day or two.
<mapreri> that works just fine
<mapreri> I'll arrange the -2 upload, will you please merge it in 0.26.3 in the meantime?
<alan_g> AFAIK 0.26.3 doesn't exist (and likely won't). But I'll take care of it in that contingency.

FWIW, the fix for this bug in the -2 upload, waiting in the unapproved queue, until somebody from the release team approves it… (and it's been there for nearly 3 days already…).

Only problem now is that zesty contains different code to what's in lp:mir/ubuntu. We may need to deal with minor conflicts at the next Mir release.

The package does not actually transition to Boost 1.62 in Xenial because this Boost version is not present there, but mirtest-dev properly depends on unversioned Boost development libraries.
