Agree -- I think the big blocker here is expanding the set of regression testers during this period. This is part of why I think BuildBot is a good idea.
But Buildbot can't solve it all on it's own. I'm sure that many Boost users would like to help out with resources but they only have a small amount CPU access to give. So running tests for 5-8 hours is preventing from getting resources we could otherwise have. Letting people test smaller parts of Boost is one way to entice those people to donate such resources.
I totally agree.
I actually thought that the ability to schedule smaller tests on specific machines was something BuildBot might enable. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
