Agreed. Lets build the foundations first.
Yes. And some of us have been working hard toward that. I've made the changes to the regression scripts to publish test results to <http://beta.boost.org:8081/>. And Noel is hard at work making it possible to publish to that server directly from bjam+boost.build, and hence making it possible to shorten the testing tool chain.
looks really good, congratulations.
Are you planning something like "request _this_particular_ test, quick" ?
I would really rather see "someone checked something in, go re-test Boost and post the results"
However, re-testing Boost takes a while. Part of this is because Boost is big, part of it is because we don't consider the testing burden at all.
And part of it is the inability to run tests in parallel. Anyone have a feel for what it would take to support running the tests in parallel? -- Noel
