The name "LONG_TMP" of the variables must be indicative of something :-?
LONG as in time. This one can be used for e.g. /var/tmp as that can be populated by users and they may want to have access to their files after some time.
The other varsTMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR and MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP are meant for e.g. /tmp To remove garbage left behind by system processes.
Still... My /var/tpm contains 17 directories named like "zypp.CU5YqK", containing about 14 KB each, dating since March (system was updated to 10.2 in mid Feb). They seem to contain gpg data. That data should not be there still. There is also a checkinstall.C18067 dir containing 73MB of files of a would be rpm, failed. Neither of those two things are long term needed, I think. Not to mention two files dated 2005 - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
