This is a defect in the spec. You can bind-mount right over top of /tmp, and also over top of /var/tmp. You can split the namespace. You have everything needed to do a per-activity private /tmp. Having /tmp work like /tmp is one less obstacle to getting things ported. Remember that /var/tmp is preserved across reboots. It lets apps recover from crashes and power loss. _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
