Some have mentioned multiple times that the regression-test batch should not take too long to compile. I don't share this opinion. The more tests, the better and as long as the tests can be compiled in less then one night I don't see a problem. For the status pages we (should) just have a cronjob that starts in the evening. As for reporting it's more difficult. Although Beman probably saw this one coming and thus provided functionality to make a status page that only reports the failed tests (as reported seperatly for windows 2K and vacpp) toon _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
