I'm also interested in getting the test results less yellow and more green, I don't have a lot of time, I'm sure I'm not alone.
There are quite a few places where the library code is probably fine, but the failure is in the test itself, the fix is often simple and uncontroversial.
Without picking on any particular library or author, here are some examples:
* Link the tests with boost::system http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.maint/92 * Merge existing fixes in develop to master http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/250129 * Fight with casts http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/250143 * Disambiguate a type https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9540
These refer to system, MPI, utility, and assign. None of these are in the list of libraries which the community maintenance team has write acces to apply fixes. Hopefully the developers who do have write access to these libraries will look at the issues involved.
