When doing a vendordrop for TigerVNC, I tried running update-from-upstream at the top level of the tree, resulting in this error message: > 08:50:05 [linma@localhost thinlinc-git]$ vnc/tigervnc/update-from-upstream <tag> > mktemp: failed to create directory via template ‘/tmp/vnc/tigervnc/update-from-upstream.XXXXXXXXXX’: No such file or directory When I stood in the same directory as update-to-upstream, I was able to run this script without errors. The script should be able to run no matter which directory it is run from.
