hi! i'm not sure if this observation is correct (or already was discussed here), but rc scripts may have to be modified for -current as /var/run isn't persistent anymore. a tmpfs is mounted to /run and this in turn is bind mounted to /var/run in rc.S:
# If /run exists, mount a tmpfs on it (unless the # initrd has already done so): if [ -d /run ]; then if ! grep -wq "tmpfs /run tmpfs" /proc/mounts ; then /sbin/mount -v -n -t tmpfs tmpfs /run -o mode=0755,size=32M,nodev,nosuid,noexec fi # Make sure that mounts below /run are visible in both /run and /var/run: /sbin/mount --make-shared /run fi and # Bind mount /run to /var/run: mount -o bind /run /var/run the rc scripts of daemons included in slackware have been changed accordingly, e.g. rc.bind: bind_start() { # Make sure /var/run/named exists: mkdir -p /var/run/named some programs may create their directory themselves (like mariadb seems to do), others will complain on startup if it doesn't exist. in any case, installing /var/run/$name via a package is lost after reboot. i think it usually is enough to just create the directory like it's done in rc.bind. cheers ruben _______________________________________________ SlackBuilds-users mailing list SlackBuilds-users@slackbuilds.org https://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - https://slackbuilds.org/faq/
