Hi Kevin, Do all of these test fail in the same way on all the platforms? At this stage we're not really in a position to fix any of the problems, so I think we should just be looking for consistency. If a test fails on all distributions in the same way then I think we should waive the failure for now. As we get time to analyse the tests properly we should be passing these problems onto the appropriate developers with the aim that the waiver will not be needed in future versions. We should also think about using these results to provide information to ISV's about issues when porting to Linux. The following test is an example of this: /tset/POSIX.os/files/unlink/T.unlink-19 where under Linux we just return a different return code (though arguably it is more informative than the one specified by POSIX). Those tests that fail differently on different distributions we need to look at pretty closely. Those problems are the ones that are going to end up with people reporting that an LSB compliant app works on distro A, but not distro B.
