Tests seem to have stopped cycling, and I see this error in the nightly testing output:

error: Cannot create link ../../../boost_root/boost/process.hpp to ../../../boost_root/libs/process/include/boost/process.hpp. error: Link previously defined to another file, ../../../boost_root/libs/proccess/include/boost/process.hpp.

Looks like you have two copies of Boost.Process:

boost_root/libs/process boost_root/libs/proccess

Note the double 'c' in the latter "proccess".

Looks like it was added to develop on the 12th, and then immediately fixed on the 13th. Thanks for the sharp eyes.

drwxr-xr-x 7 kbelco kbelco 4096 Jan 12 23:34 proccess drwxr-xr-x 7 kbelco kbelco 4096 Jan 13 23:11 process

This affected my runners NA-QNX650-SP1-* as well and is probably still affecting others. To fix it, the boost_root/libs/proccess directory needs to be removed. To prevent this from happening again in the future, for example when a sub-module is renamed, I would suggest the following change to regression.py: -self.git_command( 'clean', '-fxd') +self.git_command( 'clean', '-ffxd') This overrides the protection against removal of directories that are git repositories. Active sub-modules aren't removed in either case. Regards, Niklas Angare
