I think it's been long enough, and for Trixie we should bring the defaults in line with upstream and other distributions, which means: - /tmp/ is a tmpfs - /var/tmp/ is cleaned up on a timer Hence, I intend to apply these changes in the next src:systemd upload to unstable, probably next week. This will be mentioned in NEWS (and I guess in the release notes when the time comes), together with the instructions to override for anybody wanting to keep the old behaviour, which is as trivial as: systemctl mask tmp.mount (or touch /etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount) touch /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf for the former and the latter respectively. In case anybody is aware of packages/programs needing an update to cope with these changes, or any other issue, please let me know and I will file bugs. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
