Bugzilla Bug 104704

I'm using app-admin/prelude-manager-0.9.0_rc8 when I try to start it with
# prelude-manager
- Subscribing db[default] to active reporting plugins.
- Subscribing TextMod[default] to active reporting plugins.
manager-auth.c:manager_auth_init:546: could not open
/var/lib/run/prelude-manager for reading/writing.

I need to run:
# mkdir /var/run/prelude-manager
# ln -s /var/run/ /var/lib/run

I can't find any option in config file or commandline parameters to set /var/run
instead of /var/lib/run. If it's so probably we need a little
gentoo-prelude.patch to adjust this path ;)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Me and Yoann are investigating the best fix for this.

best to change:

econf ${myconf}
to:
econf ${myconf} --localstatedir=/var

Created an attachment (id=72363) [edit]
patch against prelude-manager-0.9.0.ebuild to fix incorrect rundir

Apply the attached patch to fix the problem... ebuild should be updated?

thanks guys, fixed

The patch is wrong.  Now its going to try and use /var/run/run.  Rob's
suggestion is the one you should go with.  The dodir is still needed, so just
change the myconf to:

myconf="${myconf} --localstatedir=/var/"

Also, you need to add a keepdir at the end so /var/run/prelude-manager doesn't
get removed.

ebuild to fix /var/run and /var/spool problems

in cvs. Thanks reporting
