but they do and this is was Chris Adams do not understand because he only
reads what he has quoted and not what was the reason for my reply which
gives "Did you read what I was replying to" a special taste

patching applications for "/var/tmp rather than /tmp" is a real problem
for people which are smart enough to know  why they introduced a seperated
disk for /tmp

this changes means that the crap no longer goes to /tmp and will hit in
the future rootfs because switch to /var/tmp
