++so the best bet is something like
++ cd /usr/share/mysql-test
++ sudo -u mysql ./mysql-test-run --skip-test-list=rh-skipped-tests.list
++This will use the installed mysql executables, but will run a private copy
++of the server process (using data files within /usr/share/mysql-test),
++so you need not start the mysqld service beforehand.

++The "--skip-test-list=rh-skipped-tests.list" option excludes tests that are
++known to fail on one or more Red-Hat-supported platforms. You can omit it
++if you want to check whether such failures occur for you. Documentation
++about the reasons for omitting such tests can be found in the file
++rh-skipped-tests.list.

++To clean up afterwards, remove the created "var" subdirectory, eg
