Description of problem: I am seeing rpmlint return this error for the xpra package: xpra.x86_64: E: dir-or-file-in-var-run /var/run/xpra The package drops a file in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d which causes the creation of /var/run/xpra when needed. The package has this in %{files}: %ghost %dir %{_localstatedir}/run/xpra This seems to be inline with: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Tmpfiles.d (although that page advocates owning rather than ghost'ing the directory). So, I think this rpmlint error is incorrect and contradicts packaging guidelines at this point. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmlint-1.9-3.fc24.noarch How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpmlint -i xpra-0.17.5-1.fc26.x86_64.rpm 2. 3. Actual results: xpra.x86_64: E: dir-or-file-in-var-run /var/run/xpra A file in the package is located in /var/run. It's not permitted for packages to install files in this directory. Expected results: No error. Additional info:
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle. Changing version to '26'.
Revisiting this bug: /var/run is not where Fedora PID files should be stored, they belong in /run. The Guidelines link you provide is clear about that now (though, to be fair, it may not have said this in 2016 when you opened this bug originally).
Reopening against xpra, then.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
