Increase build requirements to Boost 1.71.0
Added by Junxiao Shi over 1 year ago.
Updated about 1 year ago.
Description
Currently, ndn-cxx build requires Boost version 1.65.1.
The supported operating systems and their default Boost versions are:
| OS |
Boost version |
| Ubuntu 20 |
1.71 |
| Ubuntu 22 |
1.74 |
| Debian 11 |
1.74 |
| CentOS Stream 9 |
1.75 |
| macOS via Homebrew |
1.82 |
| macOS via MacPorts |
1.76 |
Maintaining support for Boost versions older than what's the default on the supported operating systems does not make sense.
It also prevents usage of new features, as indicated by issues blocked by this issue.
ndn-cxx should drop support for Boost versions earlier than 1.71 in order to unblock issues that expect to use new Boost versions.

This is something that I planned to do for a while (basically since commit 762548b), just haven't gotten to it yet. (And generally speaking we shouldn't raise the requirements just for the sake of doing it, but only when there's an actual need for it)
