There are some Postgres versus mySQL incompatibilities. The basic framework layers have been imported into sourceforge. Later on, we'll need to consider whether the final test suites for certification will be binary versions of these suites, built on the reference implementation, or whether we builds from source are allowed, we would always supply the source for reference, but there are some merits for having an ABI test suite supplied as a binary. For example the C compilation system tests can be built using a reference set of headers built from the SQL database, and hence known to be clean.

Only complex API tests will need to be created by hand. Integrate into LSB test. Outstanding Action Items Jim Knoble, correlate the initial list of initscript names from each distribution.
