Description Eric Smith 2012-07-14 07:39:37 UTC
Description of problem:

This package installs a configuration file in /etc/tmpfiles.d which actually belongs in the %{_prefix}/lib/tmpfiles.d directory.  Putting a configuration file in /etc/tmpfiles.d is a violation of the Fedora tmpfiles packaging guidelines and contrary to the intent of /etc/tmpfiles.d to be used by local administrators to override default policy in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d as documented in the tmpfiles.d(5) man page.

The Fedora Tmpfiles.d packaging guidelines may be found at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Tmpfiles.d

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2012-07-16 21:14:26 UTC
Fixed in Rawhide, will back port if necessary.

Comment 2 Eric Smith 2012-07-17 01:13:59 UTC
Thanks!  Seems unlikely to be necessary to backport.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2012-10-16 19:27:09 UTC
fixed in libselinux-2.1.10-6.fc17

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 07:00:22 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
