Hi,
it's a nice idea to implement something like this, but I guess getting
all details right will be difficult. Especially to correctly notify all
"out of space" conditions.
As a quick conceptual test you could start not worrying about the
real error, but build any failed package a second time without
TMPFS, this might be just a couple of lines of code.
