How to prevent /tmp files from being deleted at reboot

2016-07-09 Thread MI
In Debian Jessie, systemd ignores the TMPTIME variable in /etc/default/rcS and just blindly deletes everything on every reboot. A bug has been filed about it: "#795269 TMPTIME not honored anymore" ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795269 ) But I tried the suggested solution,

That was how it has "always" worked before. But now systemd ignores TMPTIME, and also seems to ignore it's own "age" option, unless I'm not using it right. Original Message On a testing/sid system with sysvinit-core, the script /etc/init.d/mountall-bootclean.sh (linked to /et

Yes, it looks like it's the ctime which prevents the deletion, and "d /tmp ... xxd" is indeed the option which is the closest to the old behaviour. I guess I will have to get used to the "systemd POV" ... Thanks all for your help MI Original Message

Meld in Jessie: how to not install all the insane dependencies

I'm setting up a new server, and wanted to install "meld", a nice "graphical tool to diff and merge files". Surprised by the huge amount of dependencies it was about to install, I had a closer look. And indeed, the dependencies seem ridiculous: spell-checkers, multimedia codecs, a modem manage
