Hi,

Been gone for a while, noticed some changes to develop status/Jamfile.v2 that I don’t quite understand.  Can anyone tell me how to test just graph, graph_parallel, and mpi?  I used to be able to edit the status/Jamfile.v2 and remove all other libraries and leave just these three, then run ../b2 to test just these products.  That no longer works, hopefully there’s an easy way to accomplish this same thing?  I have a hefty backlog of unread email so I apologize if the answer’s in there somewhere, I did a quick scan and didn’t see anything obviously applicable.

That's always been, and still is,  possible with:

b2 --limit-tests=graph --limit-tests=graph_parallel --limit-tests=mpi

Hmmm, that options doesn’t seem to do anything.  I get the same output whether I pass —limit-tests or not, though the total number of targets is different.

...updating 1201 targets...

This seems to build every Boost product that has a library.  Can I just run the tests graph, graph_parallel, and mpi, and not build anything I don’t depend on?  I’m pretty sure that we don’t depend on wave, meta-parse, context, etc...
