The bugs said "FTBFS" but 0.33-2 built just fine on all architectures,
so the bugs are gone. That's why I closed them.

Yes. If you want a recent version of monotone on an older version of
libraries, the only solution right now is www.backports.org, i.e. the
latest version of monotone running on Etch, i.e. using g++-4.1 and
boost 1.33.1-10.

It is a coincidence that you use the same architecture as Shaun
(i386). I'm on amd64, and I would use the version just built against
boost 1.34 on the buildds.

Ditto.

Me too, but "as soon as possible" really depends on boost. I suggest
you contact the boost maintainers, chip in on monotone using the
single-threaded version of boost (see the last comment in #429533),
and ask what the boost maintainers' plans are regarding the two RC
bugs.
