would it be possible to let pacman, libalpm and libfetch honor the environment variable TMPDIR?
I mean, this is stupid. Many people keep /tmp in RAM, on a tmpfs, and make it big enough, but not too big, as it takes away RAM when getting loaded.
#define TMP_LOC "TMPDIR" #include
/* getenv(3) */ #include /* strncat(3) */ td = getenv(TMP_LOC); /* cleanup for safety: td = cleanup(td); */ tmpdir = strncat(td, "/", 1); What can be so difficult about this?
If that's easy then it shouldn't be too hard for you to open a bug report on the tracker and submit a patch. -- Gaetan
