Description of problem:
Yum uses stores too many header files in /tmp
It makes trying to find a non-yum temp file more difficult than it
should be.

It would be nicer if yum created a directory under /tmp and stored the
headers there.

 $ ls -1 /tmp/*hdr|wc -l
969

It makes the .hdr files in cachedir/repoid/headers/

I'm not sure where or why you're getting them in /tmp

Comment 2 Seth Vidal 2004-10-19 14:18:23 UTC

I've been told by people who know that you don't mean yum, you mean
up2date.
Reassigning.

Comment 3 Paul Nasrat 2004-10-19 14:45:01 UTC

Root cause - urlretrieve.

We probably want to honour --tmpdir rather than using urllib's temp
file  creation.  Maybe set tempfile.tempdir.

import urllib
(fn, h) =
urllib.urlretrieve("http://porkchop.redhat.com/nightly/rawhide-latest/i386/headers/4Suite-0-1.0-3.i386.hdr")
print fn
'/tmp/tmp5p7cw9.hdr'

Comment 4 Csongor Fagyal 2005-03-16 01:40:50 UTC

I have the same problem. Installed FC3 a few days ago, but already
hundreds of .hdr files in /tmp.

Comment 5 Need Real Name 2005-07-01 20:03:42 UTC

Obsolete?

Comment 6 Need Real Name 2005-10-14 12:17:33 UTC

Seems fixed to me.
