Description of problem: While runnnning Anaconda under Kadischi, Anaconda leaves stuff leftover in /tmp. While Kadischi could clean this up, I think it might be better if Anaconda does instead. Known items left in /tmp after runnnign Anaconda under Kadischi are: /tmp/cache /tmp/product /tmp/updates device files, like hda, hdb, hdc etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.1.0.83-1 How reproducible: Run Anaconda under Kadischi. Steps to Reproduce: 1. kadischi --text /path/to/repo -f /tmp/fc.iso 2. 3. Actual results: Leftover items in /tmp Expected results: Anaconda shouldn't leave anything in /tmp Additional info: There is no additional information at this time.
Yep, there are still assumptions throughout anaconda about it running in the magic installer environment where things don't persist. We'll take fixes for explicit cases, but not going to make any sort of real push on cleaning this up for FC6 at this point.
Anaconda puts stuff in /tmp because it's a ramfs that disappears after reboot. If you want to modify anaconda to clean up before exit, we will accept and review patches.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
