[$] Debian's /tmpest in a teapot

Date:
Mon, 03 Jun 2024 16:16:56 +0000

Description:
Debian had a major discussion about mounting /tmp as a RAM-based tmpfs in 
2012 but inertia
won out in the end. Debian systems have continued to
store temporary files on disk by default. Until now. A mere 
12 years later, the project will be switching to a RAM-based /tmp in the 
Debian
13 ("Trixie") release. Additionally, starting with Trixie, the
default will be to periodically clean up temporary files automatically in 
/tmp and /var/tmp . Naturally, it involved a lengthy discussion first.
