I am trying to get xrootd updated to work with systemd (as well as various other improvements), but I am running into two rules in rpmlint and I can't figure out how to make both checks pass.
The problem is that it is expecting a directory in /var/run, and if I leave it off I get this warning:
xrootd-server.i586: W: tmpfile-not-in-filelist /var/run/xrootd please add the specified file to your %files section as %ghost so users can easily query who created the file, it gets uninstalled on package removal and finally other rpmlint checks see it
However, if I add it like this:
%ghost %{_var}/run/%{name}
Or this:
%ghost %dir %{_var}/run/%{name}
I get the following error:
xrootd-server.x86_64: E: dir-or-file-in-var-run (Badness: 10000) /var/run/xrootd A file in the package is located in /var/run. It's not permitted for packages to install files in this directory.
How can I set things up to satisfy both rules?
First, /var/run is obsolete, you should use /run instead (/var/run is a symlink to /run ).
To create the directory, you should have tmpfiles in your package to create it at install time and for each reboot.
Everything should be explained in https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Systemd_packaging_guidelines (Creating files and subdirectories in /var/run and /run section).
Except that rpmlint needs to get fixed to check /run, too. %ghost in /run should also be forbidden like in /var/run. In general, %ghost for tmpfiles on tmpfs doesn't make any sense and only makes later a lot of trouble. This should be completly forbidden. And robustness is here more important than the wish of some people, to track every file with rpm -qf.
