Sorry for hijacking. I believe any program should remove what it placed in /tmp on exit and actively manage any cached files under /var/lib, e.g. by age or size of the cache. In the case of rdmd, I'd even prefer to just do what most native compilers do and place object files alongside the sources, but allow custom object file directories. Usually I wouldn't say anything, because endless bike-shedding ensues, but it looks like now there is a technical argument, too. :p -- Marco
