boost spec file
for boost-1.34.1.-6
> Looks like this is the fix: > http://lists.boost.org/boost-commit/2008/01/5400.php Which is: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/42674 Additional fix for the test suite: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/42745 Lifting embargo, upstream SVN commits are publicly available. Created attachment 291890 [details]
Fix for 1.33.1
The example regexes from the reproducer all unambiguously SIGSEGV boost_regex,
with or without the patch in file 291643. This patch contains one additional
change that fixes this. I checked that it introduces no new regressions, and
that with this patch, reproducer testcases all throw exception as they should.
(The patch from comment #16 is relevant for boost distributed with RHEL-5 as well as Fedora 7. Fedora build is spinning right now, taskID=353614.) boost-1.34.1-7.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update boost' boost-1.34.1-7.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Statement: This issue did not affect the version of boost as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 6.
