This file has been truncated. show original

Two files owned by root and up in user’s home folder.

~/whonix_build_post
~/whonix_build

This is an unnecessary leftover. Bad for usability.

A more appropriate folder should be chosen. Possible some sub folder under /var/lib or /var/cache?

Deletion of these files however after the build process is undesireable. Good to keep for verification/audit purposes. Less magic. Easier to grasp.

Unless… We can get rid of this temporary script creation altogether. (Related to: T369)
