[OE-core] boost 1.69 -> 1.71 upgrade for 3.0?

[Randy MacLeod]

Hey Alex, or anyone,

I'm checking if you have done any work on upgrading the
boost recipe? Trevor will work on it if you haven't started.
He's relatively new to YP so depending on how easy the
update is he might bail or need help or take a while.

The recipes that have a fixed dependency on boost
are in meta-oe (and likely elsewhere), any tips
on testing other than building all of those packages
and some some basic run-time testing? Eventually

Oh and there's an oeqa test:
meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/cases/recipetool.py
     def test_recipetool_create_cmake(self):


Thanks,
