autogen.sh using /tmp?
« on: 30 October 2008, 19:47:37 »
Hey, I wanted your opinions on this.  I changed the autogen.sh in 0.2.7 or earlier so that instead of just creating a "build" directory, it creates a directory named /tmp/gae/build and then a simlink named "build" to point to there.  The primary reason is that /tmp is ideally a tempfs filesystem, which resides in memory and it makes building about 2x faster on my machine.  Does anybody have any objections or reservations about this behavior?  I just thought I should check.
