write rights to log directory

[Krzysztof Sikorski]

Currently the programs are run with two log files (output+errors), written into tmp dir ("/tmp/python-wine" if I recall correctly). This creates a problem with multiple users:
1) log into one user, run some programs via vineyard
2) relog into a second user without turning off the machine (so the /tmp dir won't be cleared)
3) try to run a program via vineyard - it will fail on start with IOError (no write rights to the log dir)

The quick-and-dirty solution is of course to create the log dir in /tmp with 777 rights, a nicer solution would be IMHO to change the path somewhere into user's home dir, for example "~/.vineyard/logs/".

Or maybe it *is* configurable and I just did not notice that ;)

Good catch, hadn't thought about that.

I think the solution will be to rename the /tmp/python-wine folder to /tmp/python-wine-$UID (or similar, I'm not that happy with "python-wine"). Does that sound fine?

The reason I'm sticking to /tmp is that Vineyard doesn't clean up log files, so I don't want to risk filling the home dir with "spam".

[Krzysztof Sikorski (krzysztof-sikorski)]

Good idea, I feel ashamed that I have not thought about uids - and the spam argument is quite strong.
And I can't really help with renaming the prefix, maybe maybe "vineyard-launcher"? I was never good with names...

There. Fixed in revision 352. The temp dir can now also be set with the environmental variable VINEYARDTMP.
