All,

Doing a review of my own series...

Damn, I'm feeling so schizophrenic, now... ;-]

On 2014-07-06 23:27 +0200, Yann E. MORIN spake thusly:
> Currently, we have temporary files to store 'downloaded' files or
> repositories, and they all are created using 'mktemp .XXXXXX'.
> Also, temporary repositories are named in a inconsistent manner.
> 
> This poses a problem in case something goes wrong: it is not possible
> to easily see what temp file corresponds to what attempted download.
> 
> Make all this a bit more homogeneous:
>   - name the temporary files and directories after the final file,
>     with this mktemp pattern:   ${BUILD_DIR}/.${output##*/}.XXXXXX
> 
> This ensures it is easy to correlate a temp file or dir to the
> associated download attempt.

This hunk is a left-over from a previous tentative. I forgot to remove
that.

/me reaches for his flame-thrower...

And the rewrite of this comment should have been folded in the
corresponding changeset... :-(

And there is a double-dot here... :-(

And here, we should use the same trick as is used for cvs.

Sigh...

I'll wait for more comments before re-spinning the series...
