* group-base: Add env file that disables building in a tmpfsWynn Wolf Arbor2020-08-30-0/+1
Some packages (most notably www-client/firefox) need a considerable amount of space for temporary build files. Our systems all have PORTAGE_TMPDIR mounted on a tmpfs. That means that temporary build files are stored directly in RAM. This is not feasible for packages that need more than 10 gigabytes of space - even on our most beefy systems. To disable this on a per-package basis, add an env file that points PORTAGE_TMPDIR to a directory owned by portage:portage that lies outside of the tmpfs.
