Hi Jim,
Thanks for incorporating mktemp into Coreutils. We're currently using a patch
in Linux From Scratch that installs a `tempfile' wrapper script, for those
packages still out in the wild that call `tempfile' rather than `mktemp'.
Would such a wrapper, or similar functionality be of interest for Coreutils?
If so, the patch can be found at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/lfs/development/mktemp-1.5-add_tempfile-3.patch,
though it may need massaging for the Coreutils implementation.
Regards,
Matt.
PS: The URLs in that patch, which detail the background behind it, are out of
date. They're now at:
