How long do regression tests take to run? My understanding was that they took a while.

Depends on the site, of course, but yes, "a while" is not inaccurate.

If a library maintainer is allowed to merge into stable while a regression test is taking place, does the stable branch remain untested until the regression testing takes place again (two days later), or does it kick off another regression test?

We get to decide, I suppose. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
