I'm trying to build New Moon (unbranded palemoon browser) in parabola.The tmpfs i 2G which is way too little it seems.I read the man page of guix-daemon and the manual and could not find away to point guix-daemon to another tmpdir than /tmp.
Well, TMPDIR= should Just Work :-)You'll have to set it to the environment of guix-daemon (and restart the daemon) for it to have any effect. How that's done depends on your service manager/init system.
I guess a ‘set-tmpdir’ RPC could be added to the protocol. I haven't thought through the security implications, and IMO it's just papering over the real bug, which is…
Is this a bug?
Not sure what exactly you're referring to, but yes, I do think that using /tmp instead of /var/tmp (or any non-tmpfs) is a bug by modern(?) conventions. It's guaranteed to break eventually on almost every non-Guix System, and when it doesn't it's an abuse of RAM and swap space.
Kind regards, T G-R
