Bug 22953 – openoffice-1.0.3-r1 fails to compile due to usage of /tmp.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Michael Ossmann 2003-06-16 13:55:03 UTC]

I probably wouldn't have ever noticed this if my /tmp hadn't been close to full,
but openoffice-1.0.3-r1 uses /tmp during compilation.  Unless I'm much mistake,
this should be a sandbox violation:

It is not a violation if an ebuild uses /tmp. As /tmp is not used for significant storage I don't see any real problem in it. Also to change the openoffice make process would be too expensive. Anyway, thanks for the report.

In general it is not smart to have a full /tmp dir as there are many programs that use it and suppose it to have enough space.
