We can't do this in a spec file, as /var/run is on tmpfs, so the dir would be lost on the subsequent reboot. But we do have the following: controller-0:~$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/resource-agents.conf resource-agents-3.9.5-124.el7.tis.12.x86_64 controller-0:~$ cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/resource-agents.conf d /var/run/resource-agents/ 1755 root root So we could probably drop patch [1] and safely rely on the tmpfiles.d to create it.

And I find another patch [2] disabled explicit requires the directory in spec file. (#%dir %attr (1755, root, root) %{_var}/run/resource-agents) Could you share me the history of patch [1] and [2]? I prefer to add back this line in patch [2], and patch [1] could be removed without puppet replacement. What's your suggestion? Thanks.
