Package: tmux
Severity: important

Hi,

The default tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf will soon start cleaning up /tmp/ once
a day, automatically deleting files older than 10 days
(ctime/mtime/atime are all taken into account).

In order to avoid the /tmp/tmux-UID/default socket being deleted while
in use (e.g.: long term session), please patch tmux to take a flock(2)
on the directory while it's running, as per documentation:

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/tmpfiles.d.html#Age

Aside from this, it would be better to switch the location to
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/UID), as a predictable name such as the one
used by tmux can be easily hijacked by anything that manages to run
before tmux is started, given /tmp is world writable by default. screen
already switched some time ago to /run/.

Thanks!
