Description

On recent RPM-based distros /var/run is either bind-mounted or symlinked to /run, which is a tmpfs volume. As a result, it doesn't make sense for packaging to create directories/files under it, because they will disappear at the next reboot. Instead, the directories/files are to be created under %{_tmpfilesdir} and systemd re-creates them.
