I see that 'pkg install ...' unpacks the packages under /tmp, creating
directories /tmp/oct-SomeRandomStuff, e.g. /tmp/oct-1qy4lc .
This happens despite the fact that I am setting TMP environment variable
to different than '/tmp' value.
The /tmp/oct-SomeRandomStuff directories are automatically deleted upon
successful package installation, and stay if package installation fails -if
I'm not mistaken on both statements.
If package installation fails, it's good that the directory stays - this
facilitates debugging. But this also may fill up /tmp which with crash the
OS.
Is TMP environment variable the right one to use with 'octave' to point to
other than /tmp directory for temporary directories/files ?
If not, what is the environment variable ?
Does 'pkg' respect TMP or that other variable(s) ?
Thanks,
Sergei.
