Dear LWN,

The latest version of the  lsb-runtime-test binary (1.1.9-1) package 
has been uploaded to:

ftp://ftp.freestandards.org/pub/lsb/test_suites/beta/binary/runtime



Binary Version of the LSB Test Suites
=====================================

This is a binary version of the LSB Test suites. This is a work in
progress and no claims should be made about LSB compliance from the
results of these tests.

The test suites are licenced under either the Artistic Licence or a
modififed Artistic License found with the package (depending on the
exact component included with the binary). See the individual
License.* files included in this directory.

Source for the test suites can be downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.freestandards.org/pub/lsb/test_suites

Requirements
============

The test suite requires some LSB compliance to actually install and
run. Further to that it also requires:

- Support for loopback filesystems in the kernel (module support ok)


Running the test suites
=======================

1. The vsx0 user has no password. Set the password as root. eg.
  # passwd vsx0

2. Log in as the vsx0 user

3. Run 'run_tests'

The first time you execute run_tests you will be asked for some
configuration information. Subsequent times it will reuse this
information unless you pass it the -c option.
