`build-dir` can now be set in the Nix configuration to choose the backing directory for the build sandbox.
|
||
|
|
This can be useful on systems with `/tmp` on tmpfs, or simply to relocate large builds to another disk.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` is no longer considered when selecting the default temporary directory,
|
||
|
|
as it's not intended to be used for large amounts of data.
