When a package wants a runtime directory, there exists systemd's tmpfiles.d that may contain the temporary files a package needs. So when installing an RPM package, it is the correct thing to install a package.conf file to /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/, and then do a systemctl daemon-reload?
Obviously not: The newly required directories are not created. It seems one must explicitly run systemctl start systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service. I'm confused: In pre-systemd area I simply added the runtime directory to the package, but now /var/run is empty after each boot.
What's the recommended clean solution for RPM and systemd?
