We can mitigate that by having several people running the reports. I've written some docs, so it shouldn't be too hard, although right now it does require a *nix-like system. I've been running them on a Windows host using a VirtualBox virtual Ubuntu system, and have found it to be easy.
So running regression tests for Windows compiler, ie msvc, must be done on a virtual machine hosted under Linux/Unix ? Or do you mean that your docs only apply to running regression tests under a *nix system ?
Beman isn't talking about the tests themselves, but about the tool that collects the results from the test runners and generates the html pages that you see on the Boost website.
Steven and Jason (see prior message) are right. We need a volunteer or two to run reports. It limits the usefulness of lots of people running the tests if we can't publish the test results in a timely manner. --Beman
