[pkg-boost-devel] Boost serialization issue

[Eduard Bloch]

retitle 581203 libboost-serialization1.42.0 breaks backwards compatibility with old XML data
reassign 581203 libboost-serialization1.42.0
thanks

This problem refers to https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3990
and http://code.google.com/p/encfs/issues/detail?id=60 . My temporary
workaround will be a rebuild with 1.40.

Regards,
Eduard.
