Description Eric Blake 2011-11-30 22:41:17 UTC

Cloning to F15.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #656611 +++

Your package libvirt appears to include a file in /var/run or /var/lock. With an upcoming change in Rawhide these directories will now be mounted as tmpfs. For details about this change please consult http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2010-November/000726.html For your package this means that you need add %ghost to all files that are placed in either of these two directories. Please make sure to make this change in time for the F15 cycle. For details about %ghost see http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/s1-rpm-inside-files-list-directives.html#S3-RPM-INSIDE-FLIST-GHOST-DIRECTIVE , for more information on the F15 feature see the feature page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/var-run-tmpfs . If your package already uses %ghost on these files, feel free to close this bug report right-away. Sorry for this mass bug filing, and if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask on fedora-devel or ask me personally. Thank you, Lennart

Comment 1 Eric Blake 2011-12-01 18:09:00 UTC

The next build for F15 needs to backport this spec file change:

commit 764574f7c73d72e42f69f225b6bbe61fae5ab28b
Author: Eric Blake <eblake>
Date:   Wed Nov 30 15:34:42 2011 -0700

    spec: mark directories in /var/run as ghosts

Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2012-06-06 23:59:39 UTC

Given that F15 is EOL in a matter of weeks, and we've lived this long without it, I'm just closing this WONTFIX. If anyone is in particular need of this fix, please holler.
