Description Hans de Goede 2008-08-17 08:29:14 UTC 
When trying to recompile vegastrike against the new boost in rawhide I get the following error:

/usr/include/boost/python/detail/caller.hpp: In static member function 'static const PyTypeObject* boost::python::detail::converter_target_type<ResultConverter>::get_pytype() [with ResultConverter = boost::python::to_python_value<const Vector&>]':

To reproduce checkout the vegastrike module from Fedora CVS, then do:
cd vegastrike/devel
make i386

ping!

It would be nice to have this fixed before the F-10 release candidate, doing a F-10 release with broken deps in the release repo is bad, really bad.

Can you check again?  New boost was in the repo only for a day, then I reverted it.

Ah, BAD BAD BAD! Amazingly none of my Fedora boost using packages were rebuild against the new version even though I rebuild them immediately after you did the 1.36 push.

But some 3th party repository packages were rebuild against 1.36, rebuilding them now again.

Doing this kind of thing is really bad, for example my system still had 1.36 installed, as yum won't downgrade to 1.34 from 1.36 (unless you would have added an epoch to the re released 1.34)

Anyways the 3th party repo package is rebuilding now, and all should be well, but please don't do this the next time.

Closing.
