In maintainer's `generic-all-purpose-and-all-rpm-dists` spec-file there
is this scriptlet inside %install for creating/providing the needed

/scriptlet/

     mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_localstatedir}/spool/authdaemon/
     ./authmksock %{buildroot}%{_localstatedir}/spool/authdaemon/socket
     touch %{buildroot}%{_localstatedir}/spool/authdaemon/pid.lock
     touch %{buildroot}%{_localstatedir}/spool/authdaemon/pid
     chmod 0777 %{buildroot}%{_localstatedir}/spool/authdaemon/socket

/endscriptlet/

My question about this is:
Can I take this one-by-one in my fedora-rpm or is it better to provide
the same functionality during %post and %preun?

Well surely sockets and PID files shouldn't be in /var/spool anyway, they should be in /var/run (aka /run)...

On top of which I wouldn't expect them to be pre-created anyway - the daemon would normally create them on startup, or have them created by systemd when the daemon is started.

Anything which does need to be pre-created would have to be done using tmpfiles.d once the files are in /run.
