[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#636339: Missing directory structure in /var/run

[Michael Biebl]

Hi Stefan,

a mechanism like tmpfiles.d [2] as provided by systemd would be the solution for
this and we should consider making that generally usable (i.e. without a
dependency on systemd).
This way your package can drop a simple file in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d or you as
administrator can create a file in /etc/tmpfiles.d

In your case this file would be as simple as

,---
|d /var/run/lighttpd 0750 www-data root -
`---

Cheers,
Michael
