That puts files in /var/run which is a symlink to /run. Better to just
go direct.
I think that's the normal outcome, but when I run configure on
util-linux with --localstatedir=/var, runstatedir is set the /run and
not /var/run when checking the config.log. It also show /run in the
configure summary.
Interesting. I checked configure.ac and see (with minor formatting):
# default for old versions without $runstatedir
AS_IF([test x"$runstatedir" = x], [runstatedir='${localstatedir}/run'])
# our default if $localstatedir unchanged
AS_CASE([$localstatedir:$runstatedir],
[NONE:'${localstatedir}/run' |
/var:'${localstatedir}/run' |
NONE:'/run' ],
[runstatedir=/run; AC_MSG_NOTICE([ --runstatedir defaults to /run])]
)
So it looks like a couple of ways to do what we want. The default for
$localstatedir if nothing is specified is /usr/var. As far as I can
tell though, nothing uses /usr/var although it does seem to be created.
The FHS does not mention /usr/var, so it looks like your suggestion
would eliminate that as well as fixing the run problem.
What to others think?

[lfs-dev] Util-linux uuidd.service file specifies a user and group
For the systemd book util-linux installs uuidd.service and uuidd.socket. The service file specifies a user and group of uuidd. Should that user and group be added to the book? -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
