Package: libsqlite3-0 Version: 3.8.0.2-1 Severity: normal Sqlite currently prefers to store temporary files on /var/tmp, although it will try /tmp if /var/tmp cannot be written to. It should prefer /tmp over /var/tmp, as the temporary files it writes do not need to be preserved across reboots (it might in fact, delete them immediately after opening them).
There is a large difference between /var/tmp and /tmp in that /tmp can be mounted on a tmpfs, whereas /var/tmp should not be a tmpfs, as the data needs to be preserved across reboots. Users with an SSD would surely prefer if you do not write temporary stuff to their SSDs. I would report this upstream, but since they use moderated mailing lists, and I'd need to wait for moderators, I'm reporting it here, as you (the maintainer) probably already have upstream contact. BTW, I initially noticed this in chromium's bundled copy, see Bug#722571 for details. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (980, 'unstable'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.10-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libsqlite3-0 depends on: ii libc6 2.17-92+b1 ii multiarch-support 2.17-92+b1 libsqlite3-0 recommends no packages. libsqlite3-0 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
