Description
Build from sources requires exact version of boost
https://github.com/apple/foundationdb/blob/main/cmake/CompileBoost.cmake#L171
Can it be changed to versionMin? Seems like no need to build another older version of Boost while building newest release 1.83 for other dependencies.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with cmake/CompileBoost.cmake at line 171 and inspect how the exact Boost version requirement is set relative to versionMin. Build FoundationDB from sources with Boost 1.83 and verify that the existing newer Boost version is accepted without building an older version.
