Hello,

the page

        https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Tmpfiles.d

suggests to specify /run/%{name}/ directories and files in %files and
then says

        Files placed in the subdirectories may be listed the same way
        or omitted entirely as the files will be cleaned up on every
        reboot.

I assume it talks about subdirectories of that /run/%{name}/.

However, how about subdirectories like /run/lock/%{name}/ ?

In Fedora base container images, the /run is empty. So when you try to
do

        FROM fedora:23
        RUN dnf install -y package-which-puts-something-to-run-lock

it will fail because there is no /run/lock there. An example is
opencryptoki and

        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1341079

What is the policy about specifying /run/lock/ (and in general
/run/otherdirs/) subdirectories in %files?

Could the guideline be amended to explicitly say that anything under
/run/ which is not under /run/%{name}/ should not be listed in %files?

Thank you,
