Greetings, A non gentoo issue, but definitely with debian is using recent versions of libraries. On the debian systems where I work, the stable boost version is 1.42.0, and by the time a particular cctbx release might be considered stable it will probably be several years old, and then, suffer from inertia. Maybe my view of software development is incorrect, but real work is needed to add functions to libraries and then after that having to wait for some time to actual use such a function on all platforms is quite frustrating. My question to the "debian group" is how can we/I help with the debian process to keep a recent version of cctbx marked as stable for each debian release? Regards, Jeff Van Voorst
