Hi!
Well, /tmp and /var/tmp are a hard topic, since they are _meant_ to
contain cruft, that's their purpose. On the other hand, I don't think
that cruft should just totally ignore what's in them, since the local
administrator might be interested wheter some large, old files are lying
in some tmp directory and taking up disk space. Still, "large and old"
mean different things for different people/systems, so I cannot provide
a "one size fits all" script.
That is why I think that you are on your own as far as (/var)/tmp is
concerned. It's easy to ignore them with --ignore (see 0.9.6-0.8 in
experimental), or make your own explain script, if you want finer
control.
Marcin

Hi!
Well, /tmp and /var/tmp are a hard topic, since they are _meant_ to
contain cruft, that's their purpose. On the other hand, I don't think
that cruft should just totally ignore what's in them, since the local
administrator might be interested wheter some large, old files are lying
in some tmp directory and taking up disk space. Still, "large and old"
mean different things for different people/systems, so I cannot provide
a "one size fits all" script.
That is why I think that you are on your own as far as (/var)/tmp is
concerned. It's easy to ignore them with --ignore (see 0.9.6-0.8 in
experimental), or make your own explain script, if you want finer
control.
