Why can't we have symlinks for those directories in both the initramfs and the real root, and then they could move over gradually? I don't see why it needs to be tightly coordinated. > 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.

I'd rather swallow the need for the versioned dependency, as otherwise we'll just find that people forget about the pre-/run paths along the way. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
