Subject: [gentoo-dev] rfc: use of the /run directory

1 All,

3 I think we should support the /run directory [1] [2]. The issue is
4 that there are at least two packages, udev and dracut, in gentoo, which
5 support the use of this directory. Support for it is being worked on in
6 openrc, and systemd will use it once it comes into the tree.
7
8 For now, it is optionally supported in udev, but udev upstream plans to
9 make this mandatory at some point in the future.
10
11 I, as well as several others, believe we should proactively create this
12 directory in a new release of baselayout, so that we will avoid bugs in
13 the future when packages start requiring it.
14
15 What does everyone else think?
