Description Wilbert van Bakel 2002-06-30 19:59:24 UTC

/etc/make.globals contains:

/etc/make.globals:#PORTAGE_TMPDIR=${ROOT}/var/tmp
/etc/make.globals:PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/var/tmp
/etc/make.globals:BUILD_PREFIX=${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage
/etc/make.globals:PKG_TMPDIR=${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage-pkg

/etc/make.conf contains:

/etc/make.conf:PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/usr/local/src
/etc/make.conf:PKG_TMPDIR=${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage-pkg

emerge output:

The PORTAGE_TMPDIR is ignored, directories in /var/tmp are created and file
system is filled up. My work around is a symlink to /usr/local/src/portage, but
I didn't have this problem before portage-2.07.

set|grep TMP doesn't give output.

I can reproduce this issue.
Thank you,
Wilbert van Bakel
