[Bug 1319338] Re: Default boost v1.54 has broken asio while available 1.55 is fixed

[Brian Murray]

Thanks for the patch, I'll take care of sponsoring this to the trusty-
proposed queue.  I've modified the debian/changelog slightly though.

The syntax to reference a bug report in Launchpad in a debian/changelog
file so that the Launchpad Bug Janitor and scripts can modify the
Launchpad bug is to use the format LP: #1319338.  I also copied the
description from the patch to the changelog as that seemed more
informative.  The changelog entry now looks like this:

boost1.54 (1.54.0-4ubuntu4) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Fix a regression where, on some platforms, errors from async_connect are
    not correctly propagated through to the completion handler. (LP: #1319338)

  Default boost v1.54 has broken asio while available 1.55 is fixed

Bug description:
  Release: 14.04 LTS
  Version: 1.54.0.1ubuntu1
  Expected: Depend on working version of boost
  Happened: Depends on boost 1.54

  Here is a bug that was fixed in boost 7 months ago: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8795
  Due to that, working with boost/asio seems impossible.

  The bug is still present in boost1.54 but fixed in boost1.55.
  Therefore I consider it a bug to use version 1.54 as default, as other
  libraries' dev-packages depend on boost-default and hence cannot be
  installed together with libboost1.55-dev without being rebuild.

  Of course, other possibilities would be to ask upstream if version 1.54 could be patched or add this patch to boost1.54.
  But there might be more benefits in boost1.55 and as both versions are not perfect I see no reason to stick with the older one.
