<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>After initial setup, a script is run that:</p>
<p>This page describes how to generate the
<a href="http://beta.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/summary.html">
Regression Test Reports</a>. It is of interest primarily to the person
designated by the release managers to run the reports.</p>
<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
<ul>
<li>A public ssh key.</li>
<li><b>Linux</b>. In theory it should be possible to run the run the reports
on most modern operating system, including OS X and Windows, but all testing
and current use has been on Linux.</li>
on most modern operating system, including OS X and Windows (under <code>
bash</code>), but all testing and current use has been on Linux. Works fine
in a Linux VirtualBox virtual machine running on a Windows host.</li>
<li><b>Git</b> installed.</li>
<li>A C++ compiler installed.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Initial setup</h2>
<p>Send your public ssh key to Rene Rivera.</p>
<p>Run once only:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>cd ~ # or some other directory of your choice
mkdir boost-reports # or some other name of your choice
cd boost-reports
mkdir trunk # TODO: change to develop | master | ?
mkdir trunk
git clone --recursive git@github.com:boostorg/boost.git boost
pushd boost
git checkout develop
git pull
git submodule foreach &#39;git
cd boost
./bootstrap.sh
./b2 headers</pre>
git checkout develop # we use the branch develop tools/regression
git pull
# Only tools/regression need to be on develop, so no submodule checkout here</pre>
</blockquote>
<h2>Build report generation program <code>boost_report</code></h2>
<p>This only has to be done when there is a change to the report generation
program.</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>
pushd ~/modular-boost/tools/regression/build
b2 boost_report
<pre>pushd ~/boost-reports/boost
git pull
pushd tools/regression/build
../../../b2 boost_report
# find location of exectuable, then:
mv bin/gcc-4.8/release/boost_report ~/boost-reports
popd</pre>
mv bin/gcc-4.8/release/boost_report ~/boost/boost-reports # see todo below</pre>
</blockquote>
<h2>Run reports</h2>
<p>This step performs the following actions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Updates its internal procedures from the git public repository.</li>
<li>Downloads current result zip files from an ftp server.</li>
@ -57,16 +63,27 @@ popd</pre>
</ul>
<p>To run:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>boost/tools/regression/xsl_reports/build_results.sh develop</pre>
<pre>cd ~/boost/boost-reports/boost
git pull
cd ..
boost/tools/regression/xsl_reports/build_results.sh trunk</pre>
</blockquote>
<h2>To Do</h2>
<ul>
<li>Change build_results.sh from trunk, etc, to git names.</li>
<li>build_results.sh should take care of updating boost_report if needed.</li>
<li>Avoid the clone --recursive; just install the core libraries (for some
definition of core libraries).</li>
<li>Add install options to tools/regression/build/Jamroot.jam?</li>
<li>Add install options to tools/regression/build/Jamroot.jam? Or at least
boost_report</li>
<li>Is it OK to run several reports (i.e. master and develop) in the same
directory? Document answer.</li>
</ul>
