Configuring the whole system to account for the needs of software installation is optimizing for the corner case.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoI really don't think installing software is an edge case. On Linux distros, I don't even think compiling software is an edge case.
- shadowgovt 2y agoIt's something the average non-developer does less than once per day, at most. (And the average developer has enough savvy to change settings). ... also, most of the compilation tools I use end up dropping their intermediary files in a peer directory to the source tree or a build directory at the root of the project, not in /tmp. I'm not sure what tools people are using that are leaving compilation intermediates in /tmp.
