Hi,
go ahead and call me crazy :) I couldn't sleep last night thinking about the problems that boost has with the testing process.
Although the roots of my idea were different it turns out to be very similar to well known SETI@Home project. Therefore I call it Boost@Home :)
:-)
I have made a similar proposal:

Though, unfortunately, nobody seems to have picked up the topic. I don't think anything as radical as a VM is needed, really. Instead, the harness needs to be (incrementally) refined to
1) control as much of the development environment to which the build process is exposed
2) report all free parameters that influence the outcome.
I think this is achievable, using a buildbot setup.
Seconded. I wonder why you don't bring your own QMTest to the table. Wouldn't it also nicely fit into the boost picture? cheers, aa -- Andreas Ames | Programmer | Comergo GmbH | ames AT avaya DOT com Sitz der Gesellschaft: Stuttgart Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart - HRB 22107 Geschäftsführer: Andreas von Meyer zu Knonow, Udo Bühler, Thomas Kreikemeier
