Bug#650762: lintian: please support UNPACKDIR option
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.4
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
In Wheezy it seems like the default setup is that /tmp resides on tmpfs, and in
the case of 4GB ram is limited to around 700MB, this means that for some
packages, in my case one containing large game data, it will exceed /tmp when
unpacked.
It would be very nice if lintian supported an UNPACKDIR option in lintianrc,
instead of having to rely on exporting TMPDIR in the shell, in order to change
the directory lintian unpacks to, and avoid running out of space.
