Greetings Devrim,

I noticed additional changes will be needed in the next EL7 build. Since
/run (and /var/run) are a tmpfs mounted at boot, the postgresql.spec will
also need to create `/var/run/postgresql` on bootup. Otherwise, postgresql
will fail to start on boot as the socket directory is not present. This is
fixed by using systemd-tmpfiles.

The postgresql.spec will need to be updated to include, and install, a
tmpfiles.d conf file. The relevant postgresql.spec changes, and additional
postgresql.tmpfiles.d %{source} are available at
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/postgresql.git/tree/postgresql.spec.

Thanks,
James
