From b77b809a9fe7697f71fc13185b2f06455af0cc82 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aman Verma Date: Sat, 4 Jan 2025 21:31:12 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Change default temp on Linux to /var/tmp. Previously, the default temporary directory was /tmp on Linux and /private/tmp on macOS. On many Linux distros, including at least Fedora, /tmp is stored in RAM. This diverges from the behavior on macOS and has led to bugs, most notably the inability to install large bottles on memory-limited machines. This fixes #19037. --- Library/Homebrew/brew.sh | 2 +- Library/Homebrew/env_config.rb | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/Library/Homebrew/brew.sh b/Library/Homebrew/brew.sh index 7c59fd881e8aa..1b4269b6210cb 100644 --- a/Library/Homebrew/brew.sh +++ b/Library/Homebrew/brew.sh @@ -65,7 +65,7 @@ else CACHE_HOME="${HOMEBREW_XDG_CACHE_HOME:-${HOME}/.cache}" HOMEBREW_DEFAULT_CACHE="${CACHE_HOME}/Homebrew" HOMEBREW_DEFAULT_LOGS="${CACHE_HOME}/Homebrew/Logs" - HOMEBREW_DEFAULT_TEMP="/tmp" + HOMEBREW_DEFAULT_TEMP="/var/tmp" fi realpath() { diff --git a/Library/Homebrew/env_config.rb b/Library/Homebrew/env_config.rb index 44a23c4f37c48..8117df94a895b 100644 --- a/Library/Homebrew/env_config.rb +++ b/Library/Homebrew/env_config.rb @@ -457,7 +457,7 @@ module EnvConfig "different volumes, as macOS has trouble moving symlinks across volumes when the target " \ "does not yet exist.
