           Summary: Plenty of temporary files/directories are not removed
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: packages
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

     GNOME version: ---


This is exacerbated on osx/ios btw

During the various phases (building recipes and doing packaging), plenty of
temporary files and directories are created that are never cleaned up.

git grep tempfile shows these modules creating temporary files:
bootstrap/osx.py
bootstrap/windows.py
build/oven.py
build/recipe.py
ide/xcode/fwlib.py
packages/debian.py
packages/osx/buildtools.py
packages/osx/bundles.py
packages/osx/packager.py
packages/rpm.py
packages/wix_packager.py
tools/osxuniversalgenerator.py
utils/shell.py


Let's make temporary files/directories exactly that, temporary. And avoid
spamming computers with sometimes (on osx) several hundred megabytes of leaked
files for each packaging
