Archlinux packaging of ckermit and the lock directory issue

Archlinux packaging of ckermit and the lock directory issue

The current situation

ckermit uses the default /var/lock folder which is "rwxr-xr-x 5 root root". ckermit is patched to handle the environment variable LOCK_DIR to specifiy another lock directory. Archlinux no longer provides the lock directory /var/lock/lockdev to allow users in the lock group to read/write into it.

What I suggest

Archlinux should put back the folder /var/lock/lockdev which would be: "drwxrwxr-x 2 root lock": it is unclear why they have removed it.
