I think you confused my message. When I said "I've always been told..." |
2 |
I didn't mean I was told it was part of the standard, I mean it is |
3 |
common knowledge, common sense, rule-of-thumb, best practice -- |
4 |
whatever. Yes there is FHS but I don't consider it the Bible. most |
5 |
distros break FHS in some way anyhow... I mean let's get a little |
6 |
realistic here. We're talking about temporary files, not /etc/passwd... |
7 |
|
8 |
My main point was not to point out theory (FHS) but practice. Over two |
9 |
years of use shows that it is perfectly fine to run portage in /tmp |
10 |
(with tmp on tmpfs) and, if you take a second to think about it, it does |
11 |
make sense that that would be a viable alternative. You mentioned |
12 |
exceptions like OpenOffice and I suggested a workaround. As always |
13 |
YMMV. |
