Bug 1462688

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1455811 +++

Description of problem:

%global pidfiledir %{_localstatedir}/run/%{daemon_name}

points to legacy /var/run, please make it:

%global pidfiledir /run/%{daemon_name}

Because Fedora cannot forever rely on the /var/run symlink hack and besides it potentially breaks other components that do expect that the /var/run -> /run move has been completed. (i would not be making an issue out of this if this issue did not affect me)

Here are some other occurences that should be addressed:

mysql.init.in: # pidfile: /var/run/@DAEMON_NAME@/@DAEMON_NAME@.pid
mysql.tmpfiles.d.in: d @PID_FILE_DIR@ 0755 mysql mysql -

There is no reason to keep relying on the /var/run symlink. The /var/run -> /run move should have been completed a long time ago.

The initscripts package should also be addressing this, and arguably this should just addressed tree wide (all rpm specs, all tmpfiles snippets and all service and socket units should be modified to reflect the new reality)

Only then can be truly say that the /var/run -> /run move was completed.

Use %{_rundir} instead.

I updated the path using "%{_rundir}".

All "@SOME_MACRO_HERE@" should be updated automaticly.
