Have an rpm somewhere 2. createrepo 3. Actual results: /tmp/tmpXXXXX is still there after createrepo Expected results: temp files cleaned up Additional info: Reproduced with both -3 and -4 Does not occur with createrepo-0.9.8-5.fc14.noarch # rpm -q createrepo createrepo-0.9.9-4.fc15.noarch # ls createrepo-0.9.9-3.fc15.noarch.rpm createrepo-0.9.9-6.fc16.noarch.rpm # ls /tmp keyring-UXwA3I orbit-root pulse-mUfnXuaIAZTB ssh-fDdPD23352 # createrepo .

1. what's the big deal about tmpfiles? This is the 3rd bug I've gotten about them and I don't see the importance, there isn't much of anything in there. 2. I've applied a patch upstream for this.

Maybe I'm anal, but IMHO it's nice to cleanup after yourself. In our case we run continuous build, and part of it is createrepo so it accumulates quickly. > 2. I've applied a patch upstream for this. Thanks.
