Hi,
I'm just looking at the rpmlint errors for the xpra package, and one I
am stuck on is this:
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
which seems reasonable to me. So I don't really understand the rpmlint
error. I picked two packages at random, fail2ban and systemd, which
also install directories under /var/run and have those directories
listed as %ghost.
So, is the rpmlint error incorrect? Or, should these guidelines:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Tmpfiles.d
also apply to /var/run? In which case, many packages need fixing to
use %verify, I think.
Cheers,
Jonathan
