Description
Would it be possible to add this patch? https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4609
It doesn't seem to be going anywhere upstream, but I need it to build the Mapnik2 bindings for Python 3. It also just seems like a generally useful fix.

Yeah, I understand. I've read through other boost-related tickets before, and it does seem like a huge pain. I'm not sure I care enough to expend energy bugging them about it, but thanks anyway.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Having dealt with Boost bugs before, I really understand your pain.
However, as I have learned in #32558, we really can't fix bugs in boost itself in MacPorts; it breaks other software patches.
I suggest pestering the boost people to have them patch the bug - it seems like a trivial patch, but perhaps other software relies on this behaviour?
Essentially, this is a boost bug, not a macports bug. :-(
