I recently had cause to search for an environment variable to see if it was being set. As a result I noticed that the environment has become a bit of a dumping ground for installed programs where configuration files would have been a cleaner option. Looking for an override in the environment is of course a good idea, but setting default values in the environment that could be 1. hard coded in the programs as defaults 2. stored in a configuration file 3. sourced from a configuration script is a bit sloppy. On my machine running "set &gt; set.txt &amp;&amp; ls -lsa set.txt" reveals that my environment contains 225517 of "stuff" - some of it is even being taken up by exported function definitions! That's 225517 bytes that needs to be copied every time a script runs.

First, here's what I'm talking about - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permalink Unfortunately Wikipedia doesn't offer permalinks itself, so hopefully the above link won't "rot". This was initially in reference to the recent spat of comments/opinions to "Re: Moving /tmp to tmpfs makes it useful". It's sometimes amusing to watch as helpful enthusiasts try to unravel a problem. I nearly deleted the entire thread without giving it a moments thought - I get a lot of message list email. What I noticed by its absence was that no-one linked to official Debian policy detailing the choices made and their justification. Then it struck me that if such a document existed, it would be subject to change as Debian policy itself evolved, making any old links nonsensical or misleading. So what I'm requesting is that Debian documentation be "permalink friendly" i.e. that Debian documentation pages provide permalinks. It would be even better if they also mentioned the version(s) of Debian they apply to.

If you install mini-httpd after apache2 the htpasswd from mini-httpd will override the file from apache2. The file from apache2 is downward-compatible to the from mini-httpd. This means it provides all the options like mini-httpd, but mini-httpd does not provide all options from apache2. So it doesn't make any sense the the htpasswd from mini-httpd overrides that from apache2. I think thats a bug.

Reason ====== What's a temporary file? Really, why would applications temporarily store its data in a file? They do that to *free some memory*. Placing those files back to memory renders the whole process of writing the file useless. If the files are small and can stay in memory why would application save it to file? Moving /tmp to tmpfs is effectively the same as suggesting to delete /tmp, because there's no use for it as a temporary files storage any more. FHS === Filesystem Hierarchy Standard defines two directories for temporary files: /var/tmp — for files that should be preserved between reboots /tmp — for files that should not be preserved between reboots It's simple and clear. Since it's only reasonable to store large data sets in temporary files, standard sets no size limits for these files. So if application's author had actually read FHS he should expe</pre> Serge 2012-05-24T23:22:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.general/173070 <pre>Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Clint Byrum &lt;spamaps&lt; at &gt;debian.org&gt; * Package name : txaws Version : 0.2.3 Upstream Author : txAWS Developers &lt;txaws-tech&lt; at &gt;lists.launchpad.net&gt; * URL : https://launchpad.net/txaws * License : MIT / X / Expat License Programming Lang: Python Description : Twisted-based Asynchronous Libraries for Amazon Web Services Twisted-based Asynchronous Libraries for Amazon Web Services and Eucalyptus private clouds.
