[arch-general] /var/run should not be contained in the package file list.
Due to /var/run now is a tmp filesystem, so the path /var/run/* should not be packaged anymore. Instead, rc.script should take care aware create needed /var/run stuff. Otherwise, there are a missing wraning while running "pacman -Qk".

On my machine,runing "pacman -Ql | grep "/var/run" | cut -d' ' -f1 | sort -u",got following:

i think something like pacman -Ql | grep -P '/var/run/.+' is more appropriate in this case.

The package-owner it 'filesystem'. But I disagree with the proposal because (1) /var/run is a symlink, not a separate FS and (2) initscripts should accomplish the minimum required operations and should mount only absolutely necessary FS (not /tmp, /media or the like).

Currently we have the following: * /var/run is a symlink (created on boot) to /run. This should be changed in the future so the symlink is shipped with the filesystem package, but we have not figured out the transtion yet. * /run is a tmpfs, so if packages contain files in /var/run or in /run, they will not survive a reboot. They should use the tmpfiles mechanisem which we added for this purpose. * traditionally rc.sysinit deleted the contents of /var/run, /var/lock and /tmp on boot, we have now a simpler and cleaner situation since /var/run and /var/lock are on tmpfs. We did not force /tmp to be on tmpfs as it does not matter from the point of view of early boot. /media is probably going away in the long-run anyway, but does at any rate not have anything to do with boot, so no danger of that being touched.

Ah, OK my information seems to be old. But fs package (2011.12) used to have a symlink, right? Why was this changed?

No, it was only in svn, but had to revert it until we figure out the upgrade path.

How would that work with systemd where /run is bind mounted on /var/run (so it requires a /var/run directory) ?

That's not a problem.
systemd checks if /var/run is a symlink, and if so leaves it alone (this is the preferred way of doing it).
Only if /var/run is a directory, it will by bind-mounted, giving more or less the same result as the symlink.
Deleting /var/run and replacing it with a symlink is a bit of a hassle, so even if you are using systemd it might be worth-while to reboot once with initscripts so this will be done for you.

<This message may be double in the list, but I'm not sure if my previous copy was sent correctly>
Hi,
I'm running systemd.
What exactly is bind-mounted? Current mount information shows:
/run on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755)
I presume this is a bind-mount? So what you're saying is that I should boot with SysV once to convert it into a symlink?
Thanks,
Christian.

Correct.

"should" might be a bit strong ;-) You can do it, and at least I find the result somewhat tidier. It can be argued that it does not matter at all...

As Allan said, please file bugs against the relevant packages (the maintainers are probably not even reading this list).
