Is there any way the in bidir_vec_remove_edge test can be temporarily bypassed so that I can resume regression tests?

You can write a script to patch the corresponding Jamfile locally to exclude the test, name it "patch_boost" and put alongside with "regression.py", which will run it automatically after getting the sources.

This, of course, is a well documented feature :-))

Now it is: http://engineering.meta-comm.com/regression_setup/instructions.html#patching... ;)

So IIUC regression.py checks for the existence of a file called "patch_boost", in the same directory (or is it current working directory)

Good question! It's the former in the latest HEAD version (also available from http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost/regression.py.gz).

and executes it after downloading and unpacking the tarball?
