As of Boost 1.32.0, the shared libraries are properly versioned (e.g. they have a proper SONAME attribute set and there is a libboost_XXX.so.1.32.0). Is this change necessary then?
Probably still, yes, because as far as I understand FreeBSD's shared librar y naming scheme is not compatible to your policy:

The first words on that page are: "If you are adding shared library support to a port or other piece of software that *does not have one*" Emphasis mine. Boost has one, so why this patch? -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com
