When I look in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf I see:
# Clear tmp directories separately, to make them easier to override # SUSE policy: we don't clean those directories q /tmp 1777 root root - q /var/tmp 1777 root root -
So I think the blame is quite clearly laid at SUSE's door. Can anybody tell me where this policy of SUSE's that contradicts FHS is (a) defined and (b) explained?
I am sure we have quite a few things that violate the FHS. Most recently moving /etc/srvices to /usr (just an example). I have no idea where it might be "defined", but the explanation is straight forward, we want to leave any clearing of /tmp up to the user.
I think leaving it to the user is fine for business configs then you can use the aging cleanup but for home users that do not have any idea about /tmp etc, i think it should be cleared on boot - maybe a config item somewhere to say "clear on boot Y/N" would get around the hard coded choice
And here is where I say that the pre-systemd job did that. It had the choice. Me plain user always said "no". Just in case. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
