[Bug 214263] New: Improvement for LONGTMP - preserve certain (user's?) files
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214263 Summary: Improvement for LONGTMP - preserve certain (user's?) files Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 5 plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: one_way@online.de QAContact: qa@suse.de For the "normal" /tmp directory, YAST provides settings like TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR and OWNER_TO_KEEP_IN_TMP. For the LONGTMP-directory (presumably this could be /var/tmp), there is no such fine tuning possible, like e.g. "OWNER_TO_KEEP_IN_LONGTMP". However, this drawer is completely filled up on my computer, I cannot even summarily delete files as bash complains about a too long argument. Morever, there are some files in this drawer I don't want to be deleted, especially the KDE cache for my user ID (Favicons and so on). I would like to have some setting to selectively clean the LONGTMP, too. So that e.g. I could exempt my user name from a routine clean sweep. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

In LONGTMP (assuming this means /var/tmp/) I'd like to have e.g. my user id's KDE Favicons preserved forever. I have to admit, however, that I posted this enhancement proposal before realising that the total devastation of my /var/tmp drawer with temp-files was a result of bug #214245 and not normal behaviour. So, considering that this bug will soon be fixed, I would reduce this enhancement from "very important" to "nice to have, but not that necessary" ;). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
