Please use mkstemp or equivalent to create unique temp directory.

Please allow to override log location and/or output logs to stdout.
This will make it easier to run it within installer so that the log will be available at installer log.

> 3) Do not automatically create a *.schema file that represent the up-to-date

777 access permission is not something that should exist in system anywhere, well apart of /tmp and /tmp is marked using 't' attribute.
