Suppose that a package wants to create a UNIX domain socket as part of its test suite. If the socket is created within the package build directory, this might fail because of the quite low path name length limit. What is the correct way of dealing with this? "mktemp -d" uses TMPDIR, which is potentially affected by the same issue.
(My personal opinion is "fix the buildd", especially since none of the official buildds seems to use long path names, but there is disagreement.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
