Re: [Orgmode] Re: bug: babel-* dirs

[Eric Schulte]

Hi,

I've re-enabled this functionality, I believe the problems should be
fixed, from the commit message...

| commit a37072786c1da98ccfe6e6b4f481bfc83d61c4d2
| Author: Eric Schulte <address@hidden>

|     using `org-babel-temporary-directory' to collect and remove temporary 
files
|     
|     We had stopped using this because users noticed that temporary
|     directories were accumulating in their /tmp directory.  I believe this
|     was due to repeatedly evaluating the ob.el emacs-lisp file, which
|     repeatedly re-defined the `org-babel-temporary-directory' variable
|     creating multiple directories.  This problem should be fixed by
|     wrapping the defvar holding this form in (unless (boundp org...)).
|     
|     * lisp/ob.el (boundp): uncommenting defvar form for
|       org-babel-temporary-directory
|       (org-babel-temp-file): now using the org-babel-temporary-directory
|       for holding new babel temporary files
|       (org-babel-remove-temporary-directory): removes the babel temp dir
|       when Emacs shutsdown
|       (kill-emacs-hook): now removing the babel temp dir on Emacs shutdown
