Description Richard W.M. Jones 2009-05-21 08:30:42 UTC 
/tmp/libguestfs temporary directory is not cleaned up (sometimes).
This appears to happen if the main program segfaults.

You can see on a machine that has been used to run and test
libguestfs quite a lot there are many left-over temporary
directories:

$ ls -ltr /tmp | grep libguestfs

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-05-26 09:48:50 UTC 
Upstream bug, so moved to Virtualization Tools product.
Comment 2 Mark McLoughlin 2009-07-31 09:42:54 UTC 
Removing from F11VirtTarget since we've moved it upstream - not so big a deal since it only happens if there's a crash
Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-12-12 20:51:31 UTC 
Comprehensively fixed upstream:
