Version: 0.0~hg20120502-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

thanks for packaging codesearch.

During my very first test, trying to index my entire source tree, I
ran out of disk space on /tmp. Obviously, cindex creates huge
temporary files in /tmp with a total of at least the magnitude of the
files being indexed. I'm not sure though whether this is an initial
issue only. In either way, This might exhaust /tmp, especially if on a
tmpfs.

A workaround is available: Please document the TMPDIR environment
variable (actually used by os.TempDir) to override the default setting
for the temporary files created by cindex.

Regards,

    Christoph
