[opensuse-packaging] /var/run is a symlink now
Hi, The filesystem package was changed to provide /var/run only as a symlink to /run instead of doing two mounts of the same file system. This has one (and only one AFAICS) consequence: %ghost entries in packages need to move to /run - as packaging behind symlinks is forbidden by policy. In doubt you can easily remove this %ghost entry - their only use case is reporting something for rpm -qf, which is of doubtful use as most packages create a directory with their name and leave the content unreported for -qf. All other uses of /var/run will continue to work, so don't touch them unless you have a very good reason to do so.

I strongly suggest NOT to %ghost files under /run..remove it from the spec file.. it is meaningless as any file there will disappear after reboot or after tmpfiles clean runs, it may actually even go away behind your back while you are running rpm -qf It was indeed correct to %ghost this files when /var/run was in persistent storage though, but the old times are gone now. -- Cristian "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry for the ascii screenshot, but this is from https://build.opensuse.org/project/status/openSUSE:Factory:
One detail I forgot: rpm has a %_rundir now upstream and in factory. So if it's defined, use it - otherwise continue using %_localstatedir/run Greetings, Stepha -- Ma muaß weiterkämpfen, kämpfen bis zum Umfalln, a wenn die ganze Welt an Arsch offen hat, oder grad deswegn. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

One can use: %{!?_rundir: %global _rundir /run} for distros that do not have that definition (assuming you only want to target versions that have /run) -- Cristian "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
