Hi,
Inn a light of recent discussion on earlier freezing, I have following question/proposition:
Is it exist in Boost.Build or could we add feature that allow us to specify cvs tag dependency as a dependency grist?
I _think_ what you're proposing is interesting, but the means of getting there may be completely inappropriate for Boost.Build, if I understand it at all. Why don't you try to say what you're trying to accomplish without trying to design the Boost.Build feature?
I want to be able to use regression testing facility not only for HEAD cvs state.
Are you trying to get cvs checkout actions into the build system?
Namely. I want build system be aware about different versions of files/components and want to be able to specify which version I prefer to use for this particular test.
If so, why? What's wrong with doing
cvs update -rwhatever_tag before kicking off the test?
Nothing. I just want it happened automatically on a computer that performs regression testing, depends on a rule defined in a Jamfile.
