Thread-topic: QA temporaries
Hi,

I'm finding quite a few tests fail to cleanup temporaries and
its fairly painful to try work out which ones after a full QA
run.  As a result, I'm thinking of tagging temporaries with a
test sequence number for diagnosis, e.g....

qa$ diff common.rc common.rc.newtmp 
85a86
> [ "X$seq" != X ] && tmp=/tmp/$seq.$$

There is test output filtering work to be done as a result of
this kind of change, but I need to do something as my /tmp is
starting to look like a dogs breakfast.

Is there a better way you know of to trace these files back to
the culprit test?

cheers.
