Thank you. Change has been committed upstream:

ZoneMinder uses tmpfiles.d to create the runtime folder. It should have
happened automatically during package installation. Perhaps the command to
force tmpfiles.d to update immediately w/o reboot went missing from %post. I
can look.

That forum thread was from an Ubuntu user so missing packages can be expected
when building against master, since the deb packaging process does not have the
auto-requires ability rpm does.

Is your entire build output available for viewing anywhere?
Can you try this on F24?

I can manually add these to Requires if I have to, but I think there is
something else going on here.

These Requires should be picked up automatically during the build process and
should look like this:

However, I've noticed that only on F25, my builds both locally and on copr are
not getting their requires & provides set properly. Don't know what the problem
is yet, but it does not seem to be isolated to zoneminder. Perhaps there is
some change in F25 that I am not yet aware of.
