FWIW, ksh93 (as packaged in Debian) has this functionality enabled... it 
seems to be available by default in various *nix incarnations as well, 
such as Solaris 9 & 10.  This doesn't make the feature a good idea, of 
course, but it does appear to be commonly available.

A quick perusal of the zsh manpage seems to indicate that it can do this 
as well (albeit with quite different syntax), but I didn't take the time 
to verify.

Bug#347469: O: installwatch -- orphaning the installwatch package

2006-01-10 Thread Greg Norris
Package: installwatch
Version: 0.6.3-2
Severity: normal

I haven't touched installwatch in quite some time, and no longer have
any real interest in the beastie, so I've decided to orphan this package.
At one point Matt Hope had expressed interest in taking it over (more
recent versions are bundled with checkinstall, which he maintains), but I
haven't heard from him in quite some time so I assume that's no longer
the case.

That's pretty close... currently, libpam-tmpdir uses "/tmp/user/$UID".

The only one I've encountered so far is gdm[1], although I haven't been 
using libpam-tmpdir for all that long.

Exactly where did I say "please send it to the list"?

Unless you're offering to provide relevant samples of the messages in
question, that response is quite worthless from a troubleshooting
perspective.
