Description Kostis A. 2011-01-23 11:11:29 UTC

Currently app-admin/logsentry-1.1.1 user the temporary directory /etc/logcheck/tmp directory to prepare logsentry results,
requiring, thus, a writable /etc.

It should probably move to something like /var/tmp/logcheck.

Modified ebuild to move temp dir to /var/tmp/logcheck

/var/tmp/logcheck seems like a good choice since /var/tmp is not supposed to be a tmpfs and should be writable. Attached is a modified ebuild that sets it up as /var/tmp/logcheck.
