I agree with Nick, regular cleaning *and* cleaning at /boot is best
behavior.

systemd /tmp cleaning is suboptimal
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Looks like the experiment worked: having

touch -d '29 days ago', and then left to age over the weekend).

It looks like something on our autopkgtest-cloud-worker may also be
regularly changing the contents of /tmp but we've set up an experiment
for over the weekend and will report back.

AIUI he suggests keeping the boot time cleanup, and that it could be
nice to have the 30d behavior back. In any case that's what I'd prefer.
I know we're speaking of file age; certainly not of blindly deleting
everything every month or so :-)

The period here is the age at which files are considered old and to be clean
up, not the
You say "Nick's preference", but it's Nick who took the position here
that the default behavior should not change?

FWIW I agree with Nick's preference (clean at boot && clean files older
than 30d). Maybe we could make that 40d, as 30d is likely to be a time
interval at which a lot of periodic things happen (e.g. an off-site
backup). A retention period >30d is less likely be synchronized with it
in an unlucky
The Ubuntu QA team encountered an issue where our autopkgtest-cloud-
workers in the prod-proposed-migration environment ran out of free space
in /tmp because these are production servers which are rebooted very
infrequently. Due to some bug in the autopkgtest-cloud or autopkgtest
code there were
> how would it impact you if it was NOT cleaned at reboot?
I just like it. It's easier for me to keep track in my head that "oh,
this file in /tmp will only be around until I reboot", as opposed to
trying to keep track of the actual age of a file. To be clear, I am not
suggesting that my use case

The reason it's specifically important to me not to clean at boot is
that schroot bind mounts /tmp by default but does not bind mount
/var/tmp by default, so I am accustomed (since long before the systemd
behavior became the norm) to using this directory for sharing data
between the host system
I personally have become very accustomed to the current behavior where
/tmp is emptied on reboot -- I have no idea what most users would say
about this, so I wonder if changing that behavior would be unwelcome. I
do think it could be nice to have the 30d behavior back, however.
