[opensuse-packaging] disable /run RPMLINT check
HI! Can I disable this RPMLINT check? [ 168s] RPMLINT report: [ 168s] =============== [ 176s] (none): E: badness 10000 exceeds threshold 1000, aborting. [ 176s] openldap2.x86_64: E: non-ghost-in-run (Badness: 10000) /run/slapd [ 176s] A file or directory in the package is located in /run. Files installed in this [ 176s] directory should be marked as %ghost and created at runtime to work properly [ 176s] in tmpfs /run setups. While I understand the motivation this leads to more troubles with packages trying to support older distribution versions where /run is not yet available. Or is that no concern anymore? Ciao, Michael.

Ciao, Michael.
Do not add those files to the spec, either as real files or ghost'ed. but ensure /run/slapd directory is created by using a tmpfles.d snippet and calling %{?tmpfiles_create:%tmpfiles_create %{_tmpfilesdir}/foo.conf} in %post *before* any other macro that could reload or restart the service. I would argue that nothing should own any file or directory in /run. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Always use /var/run because this directory is supposed to exist even today. Olaf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

But there's another lint check refusing to use /var/run. Ciao, Michael.

Depending on what it really does, that sounds broken. /var/run is valid. Olaf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

/var/run still exists as a symlink to /Run so third party applications and old packages keep working, new packages should not use it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

I think they should. That would avoid hassle like this, wasted time like this and it avoids spec file pollution like this. The whole /run thing could have been done transparent for packagers by just creating the /var/run -> ../run symlink.

I slightly doubt ;-) # rpm -qlv filesystem |grep /var/run lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Sep 28 2014 /var/run -> /run That's from my ~4 weeks old factory install.
