Re: proving a bug is gone

debian-test looks excellent!

I have a policy/security issue. To test mirrordir, a test script needs
to create some directories.  Should they be:
 - under /tmp?   (Is this a security hole?)
 - under the current directory?
 - under ~/, wherever that is?

Should running tests as root be allowed, prohibited, encouraged, or
what?  

There ought to be some guidelines as to what resources a test can
require (disk space and running time).  I suggest 1 sec or less,
for running time.
