Hello
portmanager creates a backup package of each port it is about to upgrade
in case the upgrade fails and stores them in /tmp. Recently a machine
choked on a large unattended upgrade when /tmp filled up with .tbz's.
I've since changed --with-tempdir=/tmp in the Makefile to point
somewhere with a bit more space as a workaround (but havne't tested yet).
Is this new behaviour or have I broken something? I'm sure I've done
similarly large upgrades before without problem.
As a secondary question, man hier(7) says /tmp is for files that may not
survive a reboot. Can I happily delete anything in /tmp or is there
stuff I should at least put somewhere else?
The machine is a desktop with various office and multimedia packages
running 6.2-PRERELEASE #1: Sat Sep 16 12:05:07 BST 2006 i386. Ports are
up to 20061014.
Thanks for any suggestions
Chris
