/var/tmp ? #91

Open quite opened 11 years ago

quite commented 11 years ago

Perhaps /var/tmp should be used as default for temporary files now, as /tmp typically is in ram, and compilations may get rather big...

+1 from me

benruijl commented 11 years ago

+1

JotaRandom commented 11 years ago

if /var/tmp is deleted (they contents refered to pacaur) from reboot to reboot; then +1 else no fi

benruijl commented 11 years ago

/var/tmp is used for preservable temporary files, so they are not deleted on reboot. Maybe packer should clear up these files anyway.

Maybe packer should clear up these files anyway.

+1 for this, I not want a 1G /var/tmp only containing remaments from packer builds

+1 Even if I'm not particularly fan of /tmp mapped into RAM/swap, I'd rather see packer using /var/tmp instead of /tmp. Btw note the default policy defined in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf. As for the cleanup @benruijl mentioned above, I'd suggest introducing another option --no-cleanup while cleaning the /var/tmp by default after running packer (disregarding if it failed or not).
