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 library naming scheme is not compatible to your policy: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/policie... But this patch is very specific to the ports collection (in order to meet the strict rules that were set up to maintain a software build system for 12k+ applications and libraries -- for people who are building Boost directly from source, your naming convention looks good to me.
