Remove /var/run from target

Some BSP vendors manage /var/run as a symlink to /tmp. Dbus package creates a target/var/run/dbus directory which can prevent the final symlink. Since S30dbus handles the creation of /var/run/dbus, it can be removed from target directory.

[Buildroot] [Bug 5420] Dbus and /var/run management

https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=5420

--- Comment #1 from Thomas De Schampheleire <[email protected]> 2014-02-11 21:05:58 UTC --- Hi Vincent,

Do you still experience this bug with a recent buildroot version (2013.11 or git)?
If so, can you clarify a bit more?

In buildroot, when you use the default target skeleton, /var/run is indeed a symbolic link to /tmp.

And the S30dbus script does indeed:
# Create needed directories.
[ -d /var/run/dbus ] || mkdir -p /var/run/dbus [ -d /var/lock/subsys ] || mkdir -p /var/lock/subsys [ -d /tmp/dbus ] || mkdir -p /tmp/dbus

However, I don't understand how both conflict with each other. The creation of /var/run/dbus will actually result in /tmp/dbus, which should be fine.

So maybe I don't fully understand the problem you experience. Please clarify.

Note that the patch you propose is not correct in my opinion: removing the entire /var/run directory during the building of dbus, may remove files created by other packages, which is not the intended behavior.

There seems to be no problem in the handling of /tmp and /var/run/dbus, even
with symbolic links.
Please reopen if you still have the problem, in which case you should provide
more details.
