Package: lintian Version: 2.5.4 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, In Wheezy it seems like the default setup is that /tmp resides on tmpfs, and in the case of 4GB ram is limited to around 700MB, this means that for some packages, in my case one containing large game data, it will exceed /tmp when unpacked.
It would be very nice if lintian supported an UNPACKDIR option in lintianrc, instead of having to rely on exporting TMPDIR in the shell, in order to change the directory lintian unpacks to, and avoid running out of space. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.21.90.20111025-1 ii bzip2 1.0.5-7 ii diffstat 1.54-1 ii file 5.09-2 ii gettext 0.18.1.1-5 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.25+b1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.31-1+b2 ii libdpkg-perl 1.16.1.2 ii libemail-valid-perl 0.185-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.90-1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1 ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 ii liburi-perl 1.59-1 ii locales 2.13-21 ii man-db 2.6.0.2-3 ii patchutils 0.3.2-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.14.2-5 ii unzip 6.0-5 lintian recommends no packages.
