Well, 10 seconds in the code shows this:
/* Find a good place to play. */
static char *
find_play_pen(char *pen, off_t sz)
{
char *cp;
struct stat sb;
if (pen[0] && isdir(dirname(pen)) =3D=3D TRUE && (min_free(dirname(pen)=
) >=3D sz))
return pen;
else if ((cp =3D getenv("PKG_TMPDIR")) !=3D NULL && stat(cp, &sb) !=3D =
FAIL && (min_free(cp) >=3D sz))
sprintf(pen, "%s/instmp.XXXXXX", cp);
else if ((cp =3D getenv("TMPDIR")) !=3D NULL && stat(cp, &sb) !=3D FAIL=
&& (min_free(cp) >=3D sz))
sprintf(pen, "%s/instmp.XXXXXX", cp);
else if (stat("/var/tmp", &sb) !=3D FAIL && min_free("/var/tmp") >=3D s=
z)
strcpy(pen, "/var/tmp/instmp.XXXXXX");
else if (stat("/tmp", &sb) !=3D FAIL && min_free("/tmp") >=3D sz)
strcpy(pen, "/tmp/instmp.XXXXXX");
else if ((stat("/usr/tmp", &sb) =3D=3D SUCCESS || mkdir("/usr/tmp", 017=
77) =3D=3D SUCCESS) && min_free
("/usr/tmp") >=3D sz)
strcpy(pen, "/usr/tmp/instmp.XXXXXX");
else {
cleanup(0);
errx(2, __FUNCTION__
": can't find enough temporary space to extract the files, please set your\=
n"
"PKG_TMPDIR environment variable to a location with at least %ld bytes\n"
"free", (long)sz);
return NULL;
}
return pen;
}
If /var/tmp and /tmp aren't big enough to extract the package it
creates /usr/tmp and uses it.
