No, I don't.

You are right. When I tried yesterday to unzip the bz2 file manually,
I've discovered, that there is no such file in the current directory.
"not a bzip2 file" error in this situation is a bit misleading :-)

What I was doing on the TestDrive machine until I built python with
the bz2 module was:
I would do get-source on another machine:
python regression.py get-source --runner=...
and, then, would do setup followed by the test on the target machine:
python regression.py setup --runner=... --toolsets=... ...
python regression.py test --runner=... --toolsets=... ...
The machines shared the disk, of course.
This sequence seemed to work, but if somebody can confirm, that this
is the right way of doing things it will be appreciated. The test
command does not upload results to the metacomm site, but for what
I'm doing now it is not needed.
What I'm trying to do is to run boost regression tests as part of the
compiler regression testing. This is why I need a "stable" version of
boost as opposite to CVS-HEAD. I hoped, that I can do it with just
one python command, pretty much like with CVS-HEAD, but if there no
tarball in CVS for 1.31.1, I will download and unpack it manually and
will do the rest with individual python commands.

You mean --user="anonymous" --tag=Version_1_33_1 ? Do I need to install
CVS client for this?
Thanks for the help!
