Description Eric Smith 2012-07-14 07:38:01 UTC
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

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2012-07-16 16:05:04 UTC
