A NOTE has been added to this issue. ====================================================================== http://www.dbmail.org/mantis/view.php?id=1023 ====================================================================== Reported By: creditlink Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: DBMail Issue ID: 1023 Category: installation scripts Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new target: ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 06-Sep-13 19:44 CEST Last Modified: 08-Sep-13 10:51 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: systemd scripts build Description: The dbmail.conf file allows (rightfully) us to set the pid directory but the systemd makefile has the pid directory hard coded. ======================================================================

What do you mean? Why would a symlink be required for localstatedir? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0003574) sergej (reporter) - 08-Sep-13 10:38 http://www.dbmail.org/mantis/view.php?id=1023#c3574 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Distibutions move /var/run to /run, however localstatedir usualy points to /var. So we cannot specify /run/dbmail using localstatedir variable as I understand. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0003575) paul (administrator) - 08-Sep-13 10:51 http://www.dbmail.org/mantis/view.php?id=1023#c3575 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- They mount /run as a tmpfs. That is perfectly valid. And so is using /run/dbmail as localstatedir. It is up to the init scripts to make sure that any subdirectory below the run tmpfs is created in time. So you can point localstatedir to anything you like. It's a configure option which defaults to PREFIX/var where PREFIX defaults to /usr/local. For the debian packages I override these by explicitely using: --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/dbmail --localstatedir=/var/run/dbmail and by making sure the init-script creates the needed localstatedir directory if it doesn't exist.
