(In reply to comment #0) > It's violation of FHS (according to fedora-devel discussion) Or rather: "according to Ralf Corsepius" All other responses so far are either in favour of the change or neutral. For the record, the fedora-devel discussion starts here: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-March/150031.html In any case the directory should not be created by the systemd package. I've filed bug 692124 against the filesystem package requesting it be added there. Filed bug 692137 to make the SELinux policy aware of /run. Given that /dev/.whatever was not covered in packaging guidelines, I'm not sure that's a prerequisite for introduction. One certainly should be written, though. In many ways, as it's done in F-15, it's almost just 'an implementation detail' of /var/run | /var/lock as tmpfs. But I can see why others may think otherwise.

Personally, I don't care if Fedora have /run or not, but it's quite late in release cycle for these kind of changes. I suppose it's not documented, it won't be in release notes of Fedora, it's not in Packaging Guidelines etc. This bug should be here for Beta blockers review if all needs are satisfied. (In reply to comment #6) > Why? Because we have some policies, which should be followed. But none of the policies I was aware off do forbid this kind of change. Can you name one? > Personally, I > don't care if Fedora have /run or not, but it's quite late in release cycle for > these kind of changes. Why? It's technically a minimal change actually.

It's technically a minimal change actually. /me wonder whether tiny change could be related with #692475 The note on FHS is not enough as I have already said so when you brought up this point in the mailing list. Since packaging committee is already tracking this issue, I don't see a point in tracking it in two different places. Closing this one. The FPC ticket is here https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/75 |
