[Splashy-devel] Bug#633037: splashy: /run transition: Please switch to /run

[Michael Biebl]

Hi,

as can be seen when grepping through the source, splashy uses /lib/init/rw not
only for sendsigs.omit.d, but also for storing data for its progress interface.
This needs to be moved to /run too (/lib/init/rw/splashy → /run/splashy).


Please also note, that /run exists for the complete runtime of the system, i.e.
is created already in the initramfs and transitioned automatically to the real
root. So in case you already need to create runtime data in the initramfs, you
can use /run for this now.

Michael
