TMPDIR is an environment variable. I don't think any one package owns it. For example, the glib/gutils.c file references the TEMPDIR, TMP, and TEMP directories. I believe this is what is used by the gvfs temporary files. So, I think our team owns how glib behaves in relation to TMPDIR. >> Some programs which use TMPDIR may depend on the fact that /var/tmp >> is persistent across reboots. > Do you particular things in mind? No I am not aware of any specific issues. I would just expect that we would need to do some testing, ARC review, etc. before making an interface change like this. It seems like the kind of change that could have unexpected ramifications, even if they are bugs. Brian
