There appears to be some inconsistency regarding the version of boost:
For the 'boost' package itself, 1.53.0 is current, with 1.50.0 marked as
previous.
FWIW, the 'boost' package contains only the sources.
cgf: any chance upset could not list source-only packages separately?
genini does not, and IMHO that's more sensible (and less confusing).
For other boost libraries (i.e. 'libboost-devel',
'libboost_python-devel', 'libboost_python3-devel') 1.50.0 is current
with 1.53.0 marked as test.
Is this correct?
Yes, it is, because 1.53.0 was built with gcc-4.7, which itself is still
marked test.
