#35118: mongodb: incompatible with boost >= 1.50.0 --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: brian.fujikawa@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.1 Keywords: | Port: mongodb --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:ticket:35726:9 francisdb@…]:
thanks, so where is the bug/improvement ticket to make this process more user-friendly?
I apologize that this process is a bit involved right now, but I hope that it is only a short-term problem. There are no plans to modify MacPorts to make it easier to install older version of ports; that would be a major rearchitecting of MacPorts. The correct long-term solution is to fix mongodb so that it works with newer versions of boost. It is the responsibility of the developers of mongodb to do this. When they do so, we will update the mongodb port to include this fix. You can help encourage the developers of mongodb to fix this problem by voting on [https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-4314 the issue in their issue tracker]. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35118#comment:34> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
