Or at least kind of recall reading that in the .deb changelog.

I'd venture that the majority of desktop *nix users don't go to all the trouble of setting up a bunch of different partitions for /var, /tmp, /usr, etc. but have a maximum of /home and root partitions and the ones who do can also go to all the trouble of switching blender's temp directory in ~/.bashrc (or equivalent). Anyhoo, an long as the temp dir can be changed in the UI as is currently the case then I'm a happy camper. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
