A new SRPM and specfile is ready for peer review: srpm: https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/f/testing/25/SRPMS/zoneminder-1.30.1-2.fc25.src.rpm spec: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder/master/distros/redhat/zoneminder.spec Here is a summary of what has changed: specfile changes - %setup -> %autosetup - make -> %make_build - export DESTDIR, make install -> %make_install - remove %defattr from %files - removed %global zmuid & %global zmgid - moved COPYING to %license - Add BuildRequires perl-generators systemd service file & tmpfiles.d changes - remove quotes from PIDFile reference - add RuntimeDirectory=zoneminder & RuntimeDirectoryMode=0755 - add Group=apache - remove runtime folder from tmpfiles.d After installing the package on a fresh vm running F25, I verified the following has been corrected: - The systemd service file now auto-creates the runtime folder if it does not exist, and zoneminder starts properly - Perl dependencies are now being properly discovered
