Hi,
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.
Actually, what is stupid is keeping /tmp in RAM. It is an important dir, where you might have an valuable info in case of a system crash. I could never understand the logic behind this choice. -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key ID: 164B5A6D Key fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
