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. #define TMP_LOC "TMPDIR" #include <stdlib.h> /* getenv(3) */ #include <string.h> /* strncat(3) */ td = getenv(TMP_LOC); /* cleanup for safety: td = cleanup(td); */ tmpdir = strncat(td, "/", 1); What can be so difficult about this? I got this pesty "warning: warning given when extracting .INSTALL (Write failed)" today, and when looking at pacman, libalpm and libfetch with strings(1), none of them seem to check TMPDIR! clemens
