#1580 PR merged: add the missing rpcbind directoies in the skel framwork - issue #1575¶
Labels: enhancement, fixed / solved / done
gdha opened issue at 2017-11-17 09:00:¶
The /run/rpcbind and /var/run/rpcbind directories will be created
automatically via the skel structure. This covers RHEL and Ubuntu.
I'm not sure if something special is required for SLES (on SLES 11 I
couldn't find these directories - SLES 12 ??)

@jsmeix these are just (empty) directories, so I hope that the PR creates these

@gdha
thanks for your explanation!
Now I understand why
https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1580/files
does not show any changes.
There are actually changes, namely added empty directories
but because git cannot deal with truly empty directories
as a workaround a dummy .gitignore file is usually added, cf.

FYI
on my SLES12 test system (where "rear recover" just works for me)
there is nothing like /run/rpcbind or /var/run/rpcbind
(/var/run is a symbolic link to /run on SLES12).
