- Subject: ssh + patch + $TMP
I ran across an interesting "feature" of remote access today. I was
ssh'ed in to my cygwin computer, under my normal windows/cygwin account
name, and tried to run 'patch':
$ patch -p1 -R --dry-run < ../some-patch.patch
patch: **** Can't create file
/c/Users/CYG_SE~1/AppData/Local/Temp/poFOD7WH : Not a directory
$ echo $TMP
/c/Users/CYG_SE~1/AppData/Local/Temp
$ echo $TEMP
/c/Users/CYG_SE~1/AppData/Local/Temp
$ echo $TMPDIR
Obviously, my regular user doesn't have access to cyg_server's AppData
directory. This is easily fixed, of course, by setting $TMP=/tmp (or
/c/Users/<me>/AppData/Local/Temp, if you like). The question is, should
this be something that is done by default in /etc/profile (e.g. part of
the base-files package)?
