Hi,
I haven't made a detailed analysis, yet, and cannot say how many
packages would be affected. Right now I have about 100 candidate
piuparts logs that should cover /var/run and /var/lock, but I haven't
sorted them in "buggy", "depends on buggy", "other problem". I expect
the buggy category to be around a dozen.
Would it be appropriate to file RC bugs against all the packages
shipping anything in /var/run, /var/lock or /run?
No, there's nothing wrong with that.
Cheers,
Julien
Lintian (and myself) do not agree with you. Lintian
considers it a "Serious" problem. And so does the policy
manual in which you can read:
"Packages must not include files or directories under /run,
or under the older /var/run and /var/lock paths."
It's perfectly fine to me that the release team decides
what is RC or not (even if I don't agree, it's your call...),
but these are still "must not" in the wording of the policy.
Cheers,
Thomas
