[Nix-dev] kde 4.7/4.8 breaks as boost150 is default

replacing the current version of Boost globally in all of Nixpkgs is
probably an over-reaction. Wouldn't it suffice to pass an older version
of Boost to those packages that actually have trouble, i.e. rocs and
kde-workspace?

Or even better, maybe there are updates to those KDE packages that fix
compilation with the current version of the Boost libraries?

Take care,
Peter
