Description Thomas Bigot 2014-11-28 16:53:33 CET
libboost-static-devel rpm only contains two files:

$ urpmq -l libboost-static-devel
/usr/lib/libboost_exception.a
/usr/lib/libboost_test_exec_monitor.a

Whereas it should contain all the modules. EG with a debian:
 ls libboost_*a
libboost_atomic.a          libboost_locale.a     libboost_mpi_python.a@       libboost_serialization.a
libboost_chrono.a          libboost_log.a        libboost_mpi_python-py27.a   libboost_signals.a
libboost_context.a         libboost_log_setup.a  libboost_mpi_python-py34.a   libboost_system.a
libboost_coroutine.a       libboost_math_c99.a   libboost_prg_exec_monitor.a  libboost_test_exec_monitor.a
libboost_date_time.a       libboost_math_c99f.a  libboost_program_options.a   libboost_thread.a
libboost_exception.a       libboost_math_c99l.a  libboost_python.a@           libboost_timer.a
libboost_filesystem.a      libboost_math_tr1.a   libboost_python-py27.a       libboost_unit_test_framework.a
libboost_graph.a           libboost_math_tr1f.a  libboost_python-py34.a       libboost_wave.a
libboost_graph_parallel.a  libboost_math_tr1l.a  libboost_random.a            libboost_wserialization.a
libboost_iostreams.a       libboost_mpi.a        libboost_regex.a

Proposed patch to fix the problem against the svn.

This proposed patch fixes the problem, but will have to wait until Mageia 5 is released.
Comment 2 Barry Jackson 2014-12-03 21:16:20 CET
Nice, but why not push it now?

Quite a few packages depend on boost and this may break them now in the last minute - close to the release.

I very much doubt it as there is no version change and only missing libs are added. Obviously nothing depends on those.

I did test a rebuild in iurt with your changes and it does build OK.

To push later as an update to Mga5 will involve qa who are already overstretched, but it's your call :)

Thanks Barjac for the insight. This bug is fixed in boost-1.55.0-8.mga5 that was just uploaded to Cauldron.
