>Description:
	The boost package is currently at version 1.18.1. AFAIK this version is from around the end of 2000. The most recent release is 1.28.0 and was just recently released. Please upgrade the package.

Also, the boost package currently uses boost_all.zip as the download file. The problem with this is that a boost_all.zip is found on the server and downloaded and only then is checked to be the correct file. IMO it would be better to download from the .../releases directory a file carrying the version number in its name such as boost_1_28_0.zip. If that file is no longer available an error would occur trying to download it from the server.
