Sure, that makes sense. I hadn't noticed this document. The CVS page
[1] did not mention that in addition to

$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous(at)gborg(dot)postgresql(dot)org:/usr/local/cvsroot/pgjdbc co -P pgjdbc

you could also check out

$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous(at)gborg(dot)postgresql(dot)org:/usr/local/cvsroot/pgjdbc co -P www

Now that you mentioned it, I'll keep this in mind.

Before attempting to tackle the 1.3.1 suite, I tried to get 1.2.1 up
and running. My results are as follows:

PASSED: 1778
FAILED: 510

The attached report lists the names of failing tests. Do these
numbers seem to be in the right ballpark, or am I wildly off base
here? I haven't begun to take a closer look at failures [2] yet.
Thought I'd ask here first.

BTW, I wrote a little script to automate the testsuite setup [3]. If
anyone finds it useful, it might make sense to find a place for it in
CVS.

Thanks,
Vadim
