Description Ville Skyttä 2014-04-23 14:30:15 UTC
/tmp is tmpfs by default nowadays, which makes it a bad default for the cache dir -- it gets cleared on reboots and may thus result in . /var/cache/inadyn(-mt) would be a better choice, see for example how ez-ipupdate does it.

Comment 1 Jochen Schmitt 2014-04-28 19:41:06 UTC
I have applied a patch on the new package inadyn-mt-2.24.38-1.fc21 which should be available on rawhide.
Unfortunatey, dyndsn.com has discontinued his free services, so I could not test thiw new
package. So if may be nice, if you can take a shout test with this package an inform
me about the test results.
