Description of problem: When i install and run mldonkey and mldonkey-server on my (up to date) fedora 15 box, I have found that the rpm installation process seems to create the necessary directory in /var/run (i.e. /var/run/mldonkey/), but upon reboot this directory is not created in the tmpfs. I saw this directory is necessary for it is in the init script in /etc/init.d/ you can see that the script will attempt to create mldonkey's .pid file in /var/run/mldonkey/ As explained in the following post: http://mail.savs.hcc.edu.tw/~chuavv/articles/ClamAV-en.html I had to create a file /etc/tmpfiles.d/mldonkey.conf which contained the following line: d /var/run/mldonkey 0775 root mldonkey - Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0.3-1.fc15 How reproducible: Very easily, see below. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install mldonkey and mldonkey-sever 2. add them via chkconfig to be on in init levels 345 3. reboot machine 4. see that the mldonkey daemon fails to start. 5. that there is no directory named /var/run/mldonkey Actual results: upon reboot mldonkey server fails to start no directory named /var/run/mldonkey exists for the .pid file Expected results: upon reboot mldonkey server should start directory named /var/run/mldonkey should contain the mlnet.pid file Additional info: The other way around fixing this could be to change the script in /etc/init.d/ to point to /var/lib/mldonkey so that the .pid file could live in there, but that seems wrong to me. Cheers!
Confirm: this bug still exists on f16.

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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 to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

The server still doesn't starts automatically. To make it work, I had to: mkdir /var/run/mldonkey chown mldonkey. /var/run/mldonkey I guess this is a simple fix on the RPM spec file.
