I saw that you asked about this on IRC.
/var/run is a symlink to /run, so using the /var/run path anywhere doesn't make
much sense.
Usually, it's just a longer and uglier legacy name. It also matters in one
particular case:
when /var is separately mounted. In that case, /var/run cannot be resolved
before /var is
mounted, so using /var/run creates an ordering dependency.
Both in case of /var/run/foo and /run/foo, the directory is stored on a tmpfs,
so
it doesn't survive reboots. Rpm needs to be told that this is the case, by
adding %ghost
in the %file list, so that e.g. 'rpm -V' doesn't complain about a missing
directory.
