Subject: [bug#51548] [PATCH] services: Create /run and /var/run on activation.
Date: Mon, 1 Nov 2021 22:39:48 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9da03290-b031-fec0-11fe-a3f591b38f61@tom-fitzhenry.me.uk> (raw)
This is needed as part of being able to boot with just /boot, /guix and
/var/guix, per https://issues.guix.gnu.org/51547.
Without this patch, activation-on-boot fails due to the inability to
open /var/run/utmpx and symlink /run/current-system.
This is similar to what activation-script does with /var/log/.
* gnu/services.scm (activation-script): Create /run/ and /var/run/.
