Comment 1 Julian C. Dunn 2013-02-08 21:16:36 UTC
Problem still exists on Asterisk asterisk-11.2.0-1.fc18.x86_64, Fedora 18.

Comment 2 Julian C. Dunn 2013-02-08 21:26:24 UTC
I wonder if part of the problem is that asterisk.spec specifies to use tmpfiles.d to manage /run/asterisk on Fedoras that have tmpfilesd:

%if %{tmpfilesd}
%attr(0644,root,root) /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/asterisk.conf
%ghost %attr(0755,asterisk,asterisk) %dir %{astvarrundir}
%else
%attr(0755,asterisk,asterisk) %dir %{astvarrundir}
%endif

but systemd-tmpfiles --create doesn't get invoked on asterisk package installation, only on the next reboot of the system.

Yeah, that does appear to be the problem.  I'll have a look around the wiki this weekend to see if there's a recommended way to run the creation.  I also need to get 11.2.1 out too.
