Description Kasper Souren 2003-10-02 14:13:22 UTC

The standard directory for temporary files is /tmp, which is not really handy for people who use tmpfs for /tmp (and I guess there are plenty of Gentooers that have this). I think it would be an enhancement to use ~/.fidelio/ (or anything that's likely to be less volatile than /tmp).

Err...

You can do whatever you want for /tmp.  If you're chosing to make /tmp tmpfs
then you're causing an issue.

However, if Fidelio is forcing /tmp you should file a request upstream to
change the behavior.

In either case, this isn't a Gentoo issue/bug.
