Oh, that's a pity.

Sure, please see below.

That statement imports 'upload_logs' function from
"boost/tools/regression/xsl_reports/runner/collect_and_upload_logs.py"
(http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/boost/boost/tools/regression/xsl_reports/runner/collect_and_upload_logs.py).

Basically all you need to do after the "collect-logs" step is to zip
the resulting XML ("<your runner id>.xml") located in the "./results"
directory and upload it to ftp://fx.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-HEAD/.
