You didn't miss anything -- adding to TODO list...

There is a test suite, see the testing/ dir in CVS or using the webcvs
interface at:

http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/duplicity/duplicity/testing/

unfortunately the easiest way to run it is to check out it out of CVS
(more instructions in the CVS-README file, or see

http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/duplicity/duplicity/CVS-README

).  Right now including the tests and the sample data they use would
make the tarball several times bigger, so they aren't included.

Thank you very much.  That would be of great help to some large
percentage of duplicity users (30%?  More once its only an apt-get
away?).
