Hi @stcmz,
we supported this boost-versions repo until we had Boost pre-installed on our images. Unfortunately, we are not providing it anymore due to the reasons described in the #2425 (comment), so we wouldn't like to maintain this repo anymore.

Sorry for inconveniences, I will update repo's README and archive it to avoid such confusions.
I am closing this issue. Please, feel free to reach out to us in case of any questions.
