For quite a while people have been discussing various enhancements to the boost infrastructure. What are these projects up to ? Notably:
* Are there still plans to move to subversion ? If so, what is missing ? * What is the status of the move to boost.build version 2 ?
Those two projects are on hold until 1.33.1 is out, in some sense. I hope we'll start with the BBv2 transition on the main trunk immediately after the 1.33.1 release.
* Are there still plans to 'officially' use buildbot to coordinate builds, test runs, and checkins ?
I don't know if that ever got to the point of being an "official" plan. Rene was looking into it.
I find it quite hard to interpret the regression test matrix since it is't obvious which test runs are in really in sync with the latest revision (or any revision, for that matter), and because there doesn't appear to be an obvious way to distinguish real test failures from failed prerequisites (incl. configuration errors, unsufficient resources, etc.)
I don't think BuildBot fixes that anyway. Would you care to suggest some specific test matrix improvements (on the boost-testing list, preferably)? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
