Description Wolfram Schneider freebsd_committer

Our mktemp(1) implementation uses 8-X for a temp file by default. That's ok, but we should increase the value from 8 to 10 as many other OS already did.

git grep '\.XXXXXXXX'
mktemp.c:                       asprintf(&name, "%s%s.XXXXXXXX", _PATH_TMP, prefix);
mktemp.c:                       asprintf(&name, "%s/%s.XXXXXXXX", tmpdir, prefix);
