Description Jon Nelson 2005-08-27 02:32:48 UTC 
While other programs that use the gconf and/or orbit libraries *DO* respect
TMPDIR, linc-cleanup-sockets (located in the orbit2-devel package, IMO
erroneously) does NOT respect this variable. The consequence of this is that the
files are created in one place but linc-cleanup-sockets will look in another
place. Often this is not a huge problem because not everybody sets TMPDIR.
However, many environments are increasinly setting TMPDIR and as a consequence
linc-cleanup-sockets will cease to function properly.

Hmm, yes - quite right, it should use g_get_tmp_dir ... instead, cf.
ORBit2/src/GIOP/giop.c (giop_tmpdir_init) well - really, it should prolly be yet
more complex than that wrt. the security bits there but ... ;-)
Comment 2 Michael Meeks 2005-11-21 11:27:07 UTC 
fixed up-stream by F Crozat of Mdk I believe, should be in the next ORBit2 releases / NLD 10. etc. Thanks.
