As described in the issue, /tmp is not a suitable location for a large amount of cached media files, since most distributions make /tmp a RAM-based tmpfs mount with limited capacity. I opted for a location that can be configured separately, as opposed to using a subdirectory of spooldir, given the different storage profile (transient files vs files that might stay there indefinitely). This commit just makes the cache directory configurable, but leaves it at /tmp by default, to ensure backwards compatibility. A future commit that only targets master could change the default location to something more sensible such as /var/tmp/asterisk. At that point, the cachedir could be created and cleaned up during uninstall by the Makefile script. ASTERISK-29143 Change-Id: Ic54e95199405abacd9e509cef5f08fa14c510b5d
