Dear CRUXers,
TODO28 in the wiki mentions the possible inclusion of /run in the next release.
While I see the point of this for other distributions, I'm not completely
convinced we should do so as well.
I didn't want to break this discussion from the fence in the wiki (because a
wiki is not the place to discuss that kind of things), and I didn't notice any
discussion at all on the matter, so I decided to post here.
Here my few points:
* /run is not yet in FHS.
* Early boot should start udev, and then /var will be mounted. We don't use
systemd, and creating /run just for udev seems out of place. I don't mind if
udev creates it's directories in /dev/.udev, because udev is halfway related
to /dev anyway. I see the point on distros using systemd, since they need to
cram other, unrelated stuff into /dev, so /run is probably a better design
choice for them; Nevertheless, CRUX is not fedora. So unless anyone wants to
switch from SysV-init to systemd for the next release, I vote against /run.
At least the FHS issue has also been mentioned on the original /run
announcement.
Best regards,
Moritz
