All,

We keep hitting issues on various systems where portage is removing the
/var/run symlink once it deletes everything that uses this path.

The fix is going to be to make baselayout take ownership of this
symlink.

In looking at doing this, I realized that baselayout doesn't take
ownership of any directories it creates, for example, /bin, /usr/bin,
/var, /home, /root etc. Does anyone know why this is the case? If not, I
am going to start working on making baselayout take ownership of these.

Thanks,

William
