BUG - Boost 1.34.0

[cliff.spradlin@…]

The new boost update port doesn't create a "boost" directory symlink in /opt/local/include from the version specific directory /opt/local/include/boost-1_34.

The reason for this is so that code can do: "#include <boost/whatever.h>" and have it always work. If code needs a specific version, the proper practice is to do: "#include <boost-1_34/whatever.h>"

Looking at the changeset..

 http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/26030

Looks like the relevent portion that was removed was in post-destroot:

set incdirver [join [lrange [split ${version} {.}] 0 2] {_}] system "ln -fs boost-${incdirver}/boost ${destroot}${prefix}/include/boost"

Oh, yes, that is needed. I'll submit a diff with the fix in about 8 hours. (Unless somebody else gets to it first)

Applied Portfile_corrected.diff in r26772. Thanks.

Incremented the portfile revision in r26773 so everyone gets the change.
