(Kenny Root, > kr...@go...) > A related bug is 267020 which also asks for a configurable location for temp files. There is a patch there that looks at the TMPDIR environment variable to decide where to put temp files. So the location is configurable at runtime which, for a user, has the advantage of not requiring a compile step. I'm going to rework the patch there using the logic that TMPDIR takes precedence over VG_TMPDIR. Florian |
