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/
This is Fedora and/or systemd specific only. I'm not using the one nor the other and don't consider it being upstream source of openSUSE's file system layout.
Quotation of your link above: "With this upload Fedora and Suse have already adopted /run now."
So Lennart Poettering just _decided_ _finally_ at Wed, 30 Mar 2011 that openSUSE gets /run? Can't believe it.
No, the systemd maintainer at that point of time made the change for systemd and told Lennart about it.
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.
Such major changes are far beyond the scope of package maintenance. BTW typically openSUSE packages differ very much with upstream's idea of how to install.

The change to make /var/run as tmpfs was discussed on the packaging mailing list: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2010-05/msg00018.html I don't remember that /run was mentioned separately in a similiar way but this was part of the introduction of systemd that was discussed several times. Please keep in mind that systemd is also an effort to bring the distributions together in some more areas to make packaging easier, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger aj@{suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer,HRB16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
