Unpack runtimes into var/ by default

Simon McVittie requested to merge wip/variable-dir into master

  • Unpack runtimes into var/ by default

    This draws a line between the static parts of SteamLinuxRuntime (managed by Steam) and the runtime-modified parts (managed by SteamLinuxRuntime).

  • Write log to PRESSURE_VESSEL_VARIABLE_DIR, if set

/cc @denittis

Only very lightly tested so far, but I think it's a step in the right direction?

I'm setting $PRESSURE_VESSEL_VARIABLE_DIR to communicate this down to pressure-vessel, so that we can move in the direction of making pressure-vessel C code responsible for doing more of this (particularly unpacking tarballs and GC'ing old runtimes), which will hopefully make it more obvious where we are or aren't doing the correct locking.
