    FYI, Ceph FTBFS with it... :/
    IMO, this was expected. Help fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    The latest update of boost was in late 2020. Why are we waiting so late
    in the release cycle to do such a transition? The month of the freeze is
    *NOT* a good moment to do it.

    Cheers,

    Thomas Goirand (zigo)

    Thanks a lot.

    We encourage all contributors whose packages depend on Boost libraries to

    Just double checking, still a newbie. By that you mean changing to an explicit dependency on
    the version in debian/control (e.g. libboost-system-dev -> libboost-system1.81-dev)
    and reuploading the source? After the transition finished I would undo that change again.

    Best,

    Markus

    Helo Markus,

    Eh, no. You should simply do a *local* test-build (without any upload) after sudo apt install libboost-dev -t experimental

    Please don't switch the dependencies to the versioned version of the
    -dev packages. This makes future transitions just a lot more work.

    Installing the -dev Boost packages from the experimental repository is simple,
    as shown in the following command: sudo apt install libboost-dev -t experimental.

    Thank you.

    As a mor egeneral note, have there been any test builds of the archive
    with boost 1.81 as default? It's rather late for such a large
    transition.

    Cheers
