Description of problem: Hello. As /run is mounted as tmpfs, the content is erased with each reboot and therefore it doesn't make sense to install anything into that directory. The following packages need to be fixed ... $ repoquery --whatprovides /run/* lvm2-0:2.02.104-2.fc21.x86_64 cyrus-sasl-0:2.1.26-15.fc21.i686 cyrus-sasl-0:2.1.26-15.fc21.x86_64 subversion-0:1.8.5-3.fc21.i686 subversion-0:1.8.5-3.fc21.x86_64
The following one should probably be ghosted ... %attr(0700,root,root) %dir /run/svnserve
By the way, bug #1048422 is also about /run/svnserve.
NOTE: If the directory is needed in between the installation and the consequent reboot, then it's better to create it with proper rights in the %post section. Anyway it's up to you to decide how to deal with this report. Closing as WONTFIX or NOTABUG is a solution too.

This is wrong. This is why we have, and use tmpfiles.d. What am I missing? # cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/svnserve.conf D /run/svnserve 0700 root root - # rpm -qf /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/svnserve.conf subversion-1.8.5-2.fc20.x86_64
Hello Joe. Sure, tmpfiles.d config files are supposed to re-create the directory after the reboot and till that happens, the directory needs to be created somehow, if needed in between the installation and reboot. I believe it isn't correct to create the directory the regular way so that it is included in the CPIO archive as in corner cases the CPIO content might be unpacked to a rootfs where tmpfs mountpoints are temporarilly missing/not mounted. This is a small gap in the guidelines and I believe the correct way is to create the directory as ghosted and call the following from the %post section: systemd-tmpfiles --create %{_tmpfilesdir}/svnserve.conf ...anyway, I'll let you decide. Some of my reports were recently closed by the maintainers as NOTABUG and I don't have so strong urge to convince anyone to consider minor cases as there's a lot of other and more important stuff that needs fixing. Cheers, Jaromir.
The right way to go about this is to convince the FPC the current guidelines are wrong then, because packages today exactly follow the current docs. I don't really understand the use-case, but adding a bunch of %post scripts is expensive, so there is a clear trade-off to be made. Feel free to re-open if the guidelines change.
