Linux sometimes seems to have problems with the temp dir

[catamorphism]

sfackler reported that rustpkg install at the command line failed to install any external packages on Arch Linux. This problem was solved by setting the TMPDIR environment variable to something under $HOME.

I'm wondering, though, whether this has been causing the rustpkg test failures on linux2 (though it's a mystery to me why only a few of the tests fail).

rustpkg uses the temp dir to store a temporary copy of the sources for the purposes of getting the version... perhaps there's a way I could make it not use the temp dir at all (although the tests would still use it).

I confirmed that linux1 (which is on CentOS 6.0) does not mount /tmp as a separate volume with tmpfs. However, not being able to log in to linux2, I haven't yet been able to confirm that it does.

Rustpkg has been removed from the tree.
