[chef] using /var/chef/tmp instead of /tmp as a workspace for recipes

[Bryan Berry < >]

It came to my attention this morning that some admins mount the /tmp with the noexec flag

The java::oracle recipe downloads the oracle jdk*.bin file to the tmp directory and executes it there. The result is an unpacked jdk directory

Would it be useful for me to use a new directory like /var/chef/tmp instead of /tmp for this kind of thing?
