Hi,
I'm sorry, I'm not really up2date because I missed the dev meeting, but
I think it's not usefull to change java tmp dir for felix when we can
also change "org.opencastproject.storage.dir" in config.properties by
default to a non tmp directory. So no data will be lost and one can
change it to tmp dir if one needs to. For example I'm quite happy to
have a clean matterhorn each time I start my computer when starting to
develop. Temp directories are meant to be temporary and not to be
misused as something different.
If there is any deeper sense or a real need to do that, please tell me.
Markus
PS: hope you all had some calm days at home.

The configuration in config.properties currently specifies several directories
to live in ${java.io.tmpdir}, a directory which is set by the java virtual
machine but can be overwritten at startup time (-Djava.io.tmpdir=). On some
systems, that tmp directory will automatically be set to a location that is
automatically being cleaned up upon restart, leading to a loss of data as
Matterhorn stores the default database, the working file repository, the
workspace and other data there.
Even though this setup perfectly suits test installations (no need to fiddle
with write permissions, as tmp directories are usually writable to every user),
people keep running into this issue and wondering where their data went.
As discussed at the last dev meeting, I propose to define the matterhorn tmp
directory to be $FELIX_HOME/tmp. Please let me know if you see issues with this
proposal, otherwise I am going to implement that change for 1.3.x [1]
