Well, I brought that up because I hadn't seen the main argument about temporary files discussed yet. I hope that it may change things to the better way. But that's not just for more talking, it's also a new suggestion: 0. remember why temporary files are created; 1. don't mount /tmp on tmpfs by default; 2. extend installer so that it allowed to configure all tmpfs mountpoints in custom install mode (all of them, including /tmp as an option); 3. [optionally] fix the software, that misuse /tmp by moving their files to appropriate directories (i.e. /run). Alternatively, if everybody still believe that /tmp must be always mounted to tmpfs - I suggest to make the second step and do not create /tmp at all by default, since it's useless for real temporary files and is not a good place for IPC/sockets anyway. If these ideas were already suggested and discussed before, I'm sorry, I guess I missed them. :) -- Serge -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
