Let's try to do without. can you give some concrete examples? If there are really systems like that, I have nothing against providing our own mktemp stub, but I'm not really fond of the approach chosen in this patch. I see no reason why our stub shouldn't be compatible with mktemp - what strikes me is a lot of code duplication and arcane umask use at a lot of places, this should be encapsulated in some mktemp() function. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis The next generation of interesting software will be done on the Macintosh, not the IBM PC. -- Bill Gates -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
