Hi,
I'm in NM and I have adopted and packaged crafty, a chess engine.
Now, crafty keeps its opening books files in /var/lib/crafty and these files
are updated whenever a new position is played. Crafty 'learns' :-)
My problem is : when upgrading the package, the files in /var/lib/crafty are
overwritten by the original files coming with the new version package. How can
I preserve these files from being overwritten ? The files are normally
installed by debian/rules :
[eric@femto:~/debian/crafty-17.13]$ less debian/rules
[...]
install: build
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
dh_clean -k
dh_installdirs
# Add here commands to install the package into debian/tmp.
install -d debian/tmp
ln -sf ./crafty.6.gz \
debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man6/crafty.bin.6.gz
install -m2755 -o root -g games crafty debian/tmp/usr/games/crafty.bin
install crafty.wrapper debian/tmp/usr/games/crafty
install -m664 -o root -g games books.bin debian/tmp/var/lib/crafty
install -m664 -o root -g games book.{bin,lrn} debian/tmp/var/lib/crafty
install -m664 -o root -g games position.{bin,lrn}
debian/tmp/var/lib/crafty
install debian/doc/crafty.{faq,doc} debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/crafty
install debian/doc/read.me debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/crafty
install -m666 debian/crafty.rc debian/tmp/etc
[...]
Thanks.
