The jove editor package I'm creating a .info file for needs a /tmp like directory to dump files into. It wants a subdirectory named something like /sw/var/tmp/jove/preserve to find recover files, so that when jove gets killed the jove recover program can recover the editted files. This is similar to vi's .swp files, except they all live in one world writable directory.
Should the jove.info file use the OS's /tmp or /var/tmp, or should it use use tmp directories in /sw? If the later, then it would be good idea to have base-files create these. If so, should it create %p/tmp, or %p/var/tmp or both? If base-files creates these directories as world writable, then it would be best for my jove package to wait for base-files to be updated so it can depend on a particular revision of that package.
