Description Richard Shaw 2015-11-24 15:24:42 UTC
Description of problem:
xfburn defaults to /tmp for temporary files (presumably including large images). On Fedora /tmp defaults to tmpfs @ 4GB which could be exceeded by large images.

Comment 1 Jan Kurik 2016-02-24 14:01:22 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle.
Changing version to '24'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 2 Richard Shaw 2016-03-24 19:03:59 UTC
I have created a patch to change the default /var/tmp and can commit if there's no objection. I have built the package a mock and done basic testing (correctly defaults to /var/tmp) but have not attempted to write an image > 4GB.

Comment 3 Richard Shaw 2016-04-25 20:54:35 UTC
I have check in the patch and built for rawhide. It would be nice to have this propagated to the other releases.
