unfortunately boost-1.54 needs a bugfix - because my request to merge boost.coroutine into release a required bugfix was not applied :(
I'm wondering because the regression-tests are passed?!
what to do? should I modify the fix in boost-release and archives of boost-1.54 are rebuild?
It might be useful to supply the diff and changelist here.
Why? building boost from boost-root fails with: 'error: No best alternative for libs/coroutine/build/allocator_sources'
I believe, if you have a fix, displaying it here would allow the release management team to evaluate the impact of applying it at such a late stage. Also, if you have a non-intrusive hotfix (like, some particular b2 options to make it build), this might be a viable solution for 1.54 as well. I think, the configuration conflict can be worked around if you specify some of the conflicting properties manually. This may well be the reason why this hasn't come up in test results.
