[arch-general] /var/run vs /run in systemd unit files
I've noticed warnings from systemd about changing systemd files to reference /run instead of /var/run. I'm not sure if this is upstream or arch or both? I see it for things like: rpc-statd (from nfs-utils) dovecot saslauthd chronyd There may well be more. gene

The warning comes from systemd, see this Arch bug report for more details: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59267 At the time, I did what I believe to have been a thorough repository-wide search for tmpfiles.d snippets which are produced by Arch and contained this issue, and either fixed them, or submitted bug reports that they should be fixed. In a couple cases where the files were produced by upstream, I submitted bug reports or patches upstream... If you have other cases where this is happening, please check where the file comes from, and if it comes from the upstream software, file a bug with upstream (but Arch Linux itself is not going to add downstream patches merely to fix a log warning that has no impact). If there are any remaining packages where the Arch packager has added his/her own systemd files that contain "/var/run", you are welcome to file a bug report at https://bugs.archlinux.org -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

Thanks that is helpful - I'll certainly follow your suggestions. Also a big thanks for all the effort you put in (on many things not just this topic) - much appreciated. I'm so glad I switched away from fedora a long time back! gene
