Description Lennart Poettering 2010-11-23 23:42:51 UTC
Your package spectrum 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

Uhm:
1. You should NOT do these changes on our stable releases, which DO NOT use tmpfs for /var/run, this should be changed only for Rawhide!
2. Even if you put the directory into /etc/tmpfiles.d, you'll still want it to be ghosted in /var/run.

I screwed up in marking stable releases as closing this bug as well. In fact they don't. Both changes for /var/run are covered in %if

%if 0%{?fedora} >= 15
install -p -D %{SOURCE1} %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/tmpfiles.d/spectrum.conf
%endif

...

%if 0%{?fedora} >= 15
%config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/tmpfiles.d/spectrum.conf
%endif

and no, in the end and following discussion on fedora-devel, I have decided not to %ghost anything. There is no wrong, if the package actually makes the directory itself and owns it, the change is needed just for the case when it gets removed.
