in this case it was agreed among all major distributions.
My question was how such agreement happens in practice. I couldn't find anything about it.
It was announced upstream, see http://lwn.net/Articles/436012/ I'm no openSUSE developer, but AFAIU, the openSUSE maintainer of that package can then decide if the upstream decision is kept or not. Typically, it is. Especially here, since the introduction of /run is very sensible. /var/run doesn't belong below /var because files are placed there at boot time and /var is often on a different disk filesystem that gets mounted later. Joachim PS: If you want to follow Linux development that goes beyond one distribution, and/or learn early about developments like systemd, a LWN.net subscription is worth every cent it costs. You can read the articles for free one week later, but LWN.net is one of the best information sources in the Linux ecosphere, and a subscription helps to keep it going. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
