Yes As we see them we are fixing them. setroubleshoot had a fix go in yesterday, one to create the directory if it does not exist and secondly selinux policy was modified to create the directrory with the correct context. I is usually better to have the daemon create the directory then to rely on tmpfiles.d to create it, and then we can have SELinux do the right thing. I think we should not ghost the directories in the spec file but allow rpm to create them with the correct context, as long as rpm -qV works correctly when the directory is recreated. If we have to ghost the directories and people create the directories in the post install, they will need to run restorecon on the directory mkdir /var/run/FOOBAR restorecon /var/run/FOOBAR -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkz1CXoACgkQrlYvE4MpobNNmACgisyDwIbbYt9BbNAiJR/owSEM dhEAnjIgAND6XaDiWI47+tb+f/YVZAXJ =pMkT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
