It's great to have you on board! a few > obvious symlinks make it a non-intrusive change. For a few selected packages like mdadm, lvm2, udev and initramfs-tools (basically the ones using /dev/.XXX dirs), you need coordinated uploads so they work together properly [1]. For other packages that currently use /var/run (which are quite a few), I'd prefer if they kept using /var/run for another release cycle and are not (yet) patched to use /run directly. Otherwise a versioned dependency on base-files (resp. initscripts or upstart) would have to be added. If we wait for another release cycle with this, those packages simply can rely on /run being usable without a explict dependency. Cheers, Michael [1] From what I understand so far, the idea is to have /run already in initramfs and then (mount) move it over to the real root. The changes in base-files, initscripts (and upstart) are rather small. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
