A beta version of Boost-wide, multi-platform regression status reports is available at http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/developer/. Well, they are not truly multi-platform at the moment -- only one set of results is shown, but they will become such as soon as somebody uploads another set of logs. The details on this and other matters follow. The reports are re-generated every two hours against the test logs collected from http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/incoming directory. To get their platform/compiler included into the report, the regression runners need to insert "boost\tools\regression\xsl_reports\runner\collect_and_upload_logs.py" script invocation somewhere in their driver scripts (after the bjam has already run, of course). A typical command line for the script is shown below: python collect_and_upload_logs.py --locate-root=C:\Users\Administrator\boost\main\r esults\bin\ --runner=metacomm --tag=CVS-HEAD --platform=win32 --comment=comment.html --timestamp="Sat, 17 Jul 2004 07:09:58 +0000" --user=agurtovoy To be most useful, a timestamp needs to be acquired right before *CVS checkout/update* is started (as opposite to when the test are finished). The script requires Python 2.3 and, for Windows platform, some version of Cygwin. The goal is to have a single page that reflects the status of the CVS across all platforms/compilers we currently test against. Moreover, a separation of test runs from report generation significantly lowers the regression's setup cost. Hopefully with other improvements in that area we will get more volunteers running the tests on a wider range of platforms. As usual, comments/suggestions/bug reports are most welcome. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
