Hi, I dont think this is an adequate solution. /tmp is filling up during the portmanager run. in other words - while I am running /tmp fills up. so it needs to be erased periodically while portmanager is running or else no other packages can be downloaded are there other solutions? what about a sym link to /var/tmp - will that break anything? Are you sure that "clear_tmp_enabled" doesnt just force clearing tmp upon reboot?
