[Lynx-dev] mystery meat directories in /tmp

[Atsuhito KOHDA]

Hi all,

I got the following bug report in Debian Bug Tracking System
(Bug#267356).

In short, a reporter claimed that lynx created 
/tmp/XXXXbkhUFg/L2347-390TMP.html and he thought it bad.

I said to him that lynx removed those temporary file(s) when
lynx quit normally but he didn't seem to be convinced.

So I said that one could set LYNX_TEMP_SPACE=~/.lynxtmp
but I failed to convince him again.

It seemed to me that a reporter want that lynx created
one (and only one) directory like /tmp/lynx-XXXX and
put all temporary files there.

I might misunderstand his request so please see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=267356

I'd like to know an opinion of developers.

Thanks in advance,              2004-9-17(Fri)
