Closed issue by Duncaen on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/660 Description: There is no policy or standard for the preferred method to create certain directories and permissions. I personally think its better to setup permissions once using `make_dirs` or the `INSTALL` script. First reason is that if the service fails and the run script runs every second its just a waste of time. Second reason is that if the admin changes some permissions some services tend to just blindly recursively `chown` or `chmod` directories making it impossible to setup different permissions without changing the run script. Directories on `tmpfs` are an exception. https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/571 https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/5
