[gentoo-user] compile large packages outside /var/tmp/portage/
How to configure portage not to compile large packages (eg. firefox, thunderbird etc) in /var/tmp/portage/ (RAM disk)? I have only assign 4GB and these packages need more room to compile. -- Joseph

PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/tmp/ying/portage_tmpdir BUILD_PREFIX=/tmp/ying/build_prefix DISTDIR=/tmp/ying/distdir PORTDIR=/tmp/ying/portdir These are the configurations in my make.conf. Details can be found in make.conf(5). -- yegle http://about.me/yegle On Sunday, April 14, 2013 at 2:33 PM, Joseph wrote: How to configure portage not to compile large packages (eg. firefox, thunderbird etc) in /var/tmp/portage/ (RAM disk)?

I use these two files % cat /etc/portage/env/disk-tmpdir.conf PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/mnt/scratch % cat /etc/portage/package.env/libreoffice app-office/libreoffice disk-tmpdir.conf /mnt/scratch is a dumping ground partition with enough space to keep LO happy, use wherever you want. -- Neil Bothwick God is real, unless specifically declared integer. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
