No! /tmp is for temporary files which are SMALL. It is frequently held in memory and will not accomodate things like entire source trees. If you desperately need large working space on the local filesystem, that's /var/tmp, but you should really be working in . wherever possible. That goes doubly for anybody who thinks they can get away with putting revision libraries in /tmp. Your sysadmin will come over to your house and kill you slowly with a rusty spoon. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
