First of all, there are other scaffold-* words, which will write to other respective directories. It is entirely up to you whether to use those words, or not. By calling those words you are explicitly asking Factor to create new files in its subfolders. Second, I'm sure there are some unit-tests that would create temporary files. You don't have to run those, unless you make changes to the Factor itself (if you do, you need full write access anyway). To have write permissions to the work folder, you could make it a symbolic link to a location that you prefer, like something in your home directory. You could avoid using all of the above and create your own folder wherever you want, add it to the global .factor-roots file, and put your new vocabs in there instead of the work directory. http://docs.factorcode.org/content/article-vocabs.roots.html http://docs.factorcode.org/content/article-.factor-roots.html Question: why was the work directory read-only? What OS are you on? ---=====--- Александр ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk
