Add a file like: %{name}-tmpfiles.conf to the SOURCES tree containing: + + D /run/my-package 0710 my-user my-group - + +(this will create a folder call /run/my-package owned by +my-user:my-group in /run. You should likely use /run or /run/lock +directly rather than /var/run or /var/lock which are just symlinks to that). + +You can also create files, links, named pipes etc. too. See "man +tmpfiles.d" for full syntax. + + + +2. Add the source to the SPEC: + SourceN: %{name}-tmpfiles.conf + + +3. Install the tmpfile snippet: + + # create tmpfiles directory + install -d -m0755 %{buildroot}%{_prefix}/lib/tmpfiles.d + install -m0644 %{SOURCEN} +%{buildroot}%{_prefix}/lib/tmpfiles.d/%{name}.conf + +Make sure it's included in the %files section too: + %{_prefix}/lib/tmpfiles.d/*.conf + +4. Add Requires: + Requires(post): systemd + + +5. Add/add to %post: + + systemd-tmpfiles --create %{name}.conf + + +(note, passing in the file basename here is very important! Don't just +run "systemd-tmpfiles --create" as it has unexpected consequences!) + + +That's about it. + +We could go around %ghosting the files created, but to be perfectly +honest, I don't think it's worth the effort. Files in /run should be +considered generally volatile and they should all be pretty self +explanatory generally IMO. + + +HTHs + +Col + +-- + +Colin Guthrie +colin(at)mageia.org +<A HREF="http://colin.guthr.ie/">http://colin.guthr.ie/</A> + +Day Job: + Tribalogic Limited <A HREF="http://www.tribalogic.net/">http://www.tribalogic.net/</A> +Open Source: + Mageia Contributor <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/">http://www.mageia.org/</A> + PulseAudio Hacker <A HREF="http://www.pulseaudio.org/">http://www.pulseaudio.org/</A> + Trac Hacker <A HREF="http://trac.edgewall.org/">http://trac.edgewall.org/</A> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="020159.html">[Mageia-dev] rpmlint +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="020165.html">[Mageia-dev] Adding tmpfiles.d support to packages +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#20164">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#20164">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#20164">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#20164">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
