Consider adding the descrition of env variables used by guix-deamon to
the documentation.
<andreoss`> how to change the temporary directory from /tmp to /var/tmp?
[08:14]
<andreoss`> i have /tmp as tmpfs and it has no enough space to build gcc
<Sleep_Walker> hm, I can't find it either in ./configure, either as parameter
to guix-daemon [08:29]
<Sleep_Walker> it seems it could respect TMPDIR environment variable [08:34]
<Sleep_Walker> andreoss`: could you confirm? [08:36]
<Sleep_Walker> export TMPDIR=/var/tmp ; guix-daemon <your_parameters>
<andreoss`> Sleep_Walker: confirmed [08:39]
<andreoss`> thanks
<Sleep_Walker> andreoss`: you're welcome [08:42]
<Sleep_Walker> andreoss`: could you please file a bug and request
documentation improvement?
<Sleep_Walker> so it doesn't get lost

I’ve added two paragraphs to that effect:
When the daemon performs a build on behalf of the user, it creates a
build directory under ‘/tmp’ or under the directory specified by its
‘TMPDIR’ environment variable; this directory is shared with the
container for the duration of the build. Be aware that using a
directory other than ‘/tmp’ can affect build results—for example, with a
longer directory name, a build process that uses Unix-domain sockets
might hit the name length limitation for ‘sun_path’, which it would
otherwise not hit.
The build directory is automatically deleted upon completion, unless
the build failed and the client specified ‘--keep-failed’ (*note
‘--keep-failed’: Invoking guix build.).
Thanks for the report!
Ludo’.
