package_env not applied in world update

[peperunas]

I've created a env configuration to compile in another directory and applied it to app-office/libreoffice. It seems that paludis checks for it in the first --pretend phase but discards it when it actually starts to compile the package.

Log:

These are the actions I will take, in order:

Here's the first correct check, where paludis correctly loads the no_ram_compiling.conf env mod:

libreoffice-5.0.2.2> Loaded custom configuration: enable_ccache
libreoffice-5.0.2.2> Loaded custom configuration: no_ram_compiling
libreoffice-5.0.2.2>  Checking for at least 512 MiB RAM ...
libreoffice-5.0.2.2>  Checking for at least 6 GiB disk space at "/var/tmp/notmpfs" ...
[snip...]

Further output:

Output from installing app-office/libreoffice-5.0.2.2:0::gentoo to ::installed replacing 5.0.1.2:0::installed:

Here's the actual check before compiling it:

Checking for at least 512 MiB RAM ...
Checking for at least 6 GiB disk space at "/var/tmp/paludis/app-office-libreoffice-5.0.2.2/temp/" ...
There is NOT at least 6 GiB disk space at "/var/tmp/paludis/app-office-libreoffice-5.0.2.2/temp/"
Space constraints set in the ebuild were not met!
The build will most probably fail, you should enhance the space
as per failed tests.

[zaufi]

please show me the env file mentioned... I'll try to reproduce.

[peperunas]

With some env call in /etc/paludis/bashrc I found out that the tempdir variable referred by paludis was T.

The env file is simple as:

T=/new/directory

[zaufi]

I'm not sure that setting T is a good idea (allowed at all) -- please read PMS about it (and a footnote about its consistency). Maybe you can try to play with WORKDIR instead?

and by the way, I have a plugin for that :) -- please read about "Working Directory in a RAM" section -- I think it it that you actually need :)

[peperunas]

I've just read the /usr/portage/eclass/check-reqs.eclass and the size check is done on T. I'm trying to figure out why Portage uses PORTAGE_BUILDDIR(https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Portage_TMPDIR_on_tmpfs) and what Paludis uses. (trying to learn here :) )
