yaourt hard disk full [SOLVED-->Change tool]

Hi,
when i try to install a large package (anaconda) yaourt takes all the free space of my /tmp directory which is on tmpfs (command df -h). And when it takes 100% the system has to be rebooted

df -h
dev                3,8G       0  3,8G   0% /dev
run                3,8G    1,2M  3,8G   1% /run
/dev/sda2           36G     26G  7,8G  77% /
tmpfs              3,8G     80M  3,8G   3% /dev/shm
tmpfs              3,8G       0  3,8G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs              3,8G    1,5G  2,4G  39% /tmp
/dev/sda4           52G     38G   12G  77% /home
/dev/sda1          147G    105G   42G  72% /WINDOWS
tmpfs              775M     16K  775M   1% /run/user/1000

I also tried to modify /etc/yaourtrc to make it use /tmp on my home directory but it did not work

TMPDIR="/home/user/tmp"

I even did that to unmount tmpfs but everything failed

systemctl unmask tmp.mount

Is there a way to make yaourt use /tmp on my directory and not the "RAM tmpfs"
Thanks
Sincerely

Mod note: Not an installation issue, moving to AUR issues...

The unsolved issues mentioned are likely to corrupt your system beyond repair.
Please remove yaourt.


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Re: yaourt hard disk full [SOLVED-->Change tool]

Maximally ironic when you switch from a tool that might have a small chance to cause harm to tools that are guaranteed to break your system. octopi does partial upgrades on a schedule, while pikaur has in its short existence a longer history of breakage than yaourt in 12 years.

Just stick to makepkg and steer clear from all these "helpers" unless you specifically know why you need one.

edit: Reading the yaourt man page would have directly solved the issue in this case.

Re: yaourt hard disk full [SOLVED-->Change tool]

It did exactly the same with pikaur, the solution is to change directory of makepkg.conf to make makepkg use /home/USER/tmp directory instead of the tmpfs one.
