When will boost 1.36 be available for Mac Port?
Question
How can i find out this information?
Ie,
I can install boost 1.35 with a command like
sudo port install boost
only to get boost 1.36 via port i would do something like this?
sudo port install boost-1.36
Hope that clears up my question
Solution
I believe this is the relevant ticket.
There's a new Portfile in the ticket, and that works fine for me.
I believe the ticket is still open because of issues relating to Python and MPI.
OTHER TIPS
Boost 1.36 is already available for OS X: http://www.boost.org/users/download/version_1_36_0
Not sure exactly what you're asking, but OS X is a supported platform for that release and the sources download is the same for all platforms.
The Boost website distributes source code, which may be compiled on any supported platform (including Macs). It is, therefore, available now.
That depends on what package manager you're using. OS X doesn't come with one, so any packaging will be by third parties. If you install software using MacPorts, please file a bug requesting an updated version of the Boost package.
Now that I see you're looking for a MacPorts update, in addition to filing a bug as John suggested, you may find it useful to contact the boost macport package maintainer and ask when it might be available. Contact info is available here: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=library&substr=boost
