Thanks for filing this bug. This is in fact not a violation but a change of the packaging guidelines and I don't recall this change eve being announced. OK, I agree that "violates" was probably too strong a word, and I wasn't as familiar with the history as I should have been. Although FPC ticket 176 gives a proposed announcement text, perhaps the announcement wasn't sent. I fixed this already back in August 2012. Sorry for not closing the bug earlier. |
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
