Okay. Looks like we're going to need to get some more vc-7_1 and vc-8_0 testing in place, fast :) Doug

If there's no one else with testing experience and access to these compilers, I could try to run the tests. 7.1 is already installed on my system, 8.0 shouldn't be much of a problem either.

Or you could take on just 7.1 and somebody else would cover 8.0. And even "redundant" results are very valuable, as long as they are run on non-overlaping schedules.

I vaguely remember reading a guideline how to setup a test system but I can't find this documentation right know, even through google. A link would be appreciated.

I have no boost testing experience, but I have access to VC7.1 and 8.0 and two reasonable computers for running it(two Pentium IV with 1.8Ghz, 512/1024MB). If help is needed just let me know.

Thanks for the heads up.

Is somebody else able/willing to pick up regular VC 7.1/8.0 regression testing?

If nobody else jumps up to volunteer, I could do it. I'd have to set up vc8 on my older machine and get regression.py going. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

I have these compilers and Intel 9.0.

I'm also quite willing to help

Wonderful!

but someone needs to give me a heads up on procedures.

Please see http://engineering.meta-comm.com/regression_setup/instructions.html for the instructions on the regression setup itself and http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html#Tools for the toolset configuration info. If you have any problems with the setup, please feel free to ask for help here or on the Boost.Testing list (http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-testing). -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering

Hi. I could be able to help out a bit. What would I need to do?

Ok. I understand how to do this, but I just have a few questions.

First, let me just lay out my available computers:

Intel P3 1GHz (mobile chip so it really runs at 700 MHz) 256Mb Ram Windows XP SP 2 VC++ 7.1, 7, and 8 if needed

Intel P4 HT GHz 512 Mb Ram Windows XP SP 2 VC++ 7.1

Anyway, here are my questions:

Which computer would be best to run these tests on? Would both be better?

I'd say whichever is less used by you :). Basically, the shorter turnaround time for a particular toolset's results is, the better. Normally, people run the tests nightly because during the day their machines are doing something else, but if you can afford to do it more often, it definitely would be appreciated. If the machines are equally busy, just pick the one that is generally faster.

How much space do these tests usually take?

I'd say at most 10 Gb per toolset.

How long do these tests typically run for one toolset?

Somewhere between 2 to 4 hours per toolset.

Is there a way to install VC++ 8 remotely[*]?

Don't know the answer to this, but it sounds like we will have this particular one covered one way or another, so you might just postpone setting it up until it's relatively painless for you :). -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
