I am planning to take over xsoldier by mutual agreement of the current maintainer. The new upstream release of xsolider have both of X version and SDL version in the same source (using #ifdef). Splitting xsoldier into 3 packages seems the right thing:
xsoldier - X version of binary xsoldier-sdl - SDL version of binary xsoldier-data - pixmap files for xsoldier I have 3 problems: 1) Is it OK just uploading the new source and .deb to split the package, or do I have to ITP xsoldier-sdl and xsoldier-data? 2) The current version of xsoldier puts its score file in /var/lib/games, which is wrong. According to the FHS, it must be in /var/games/xsoldier. Since both of xsoldier and xsoldier-sdl are the same game, they should share the same score file. I think xsoldier-data should handle it. How can I save the old score file? Copying it in postinst of xsoldier-data won't work because it is in xsoldier, not xsoldier-data (if xsoldier is unpacked first, the old score file will be removed). 3) Do I have to save the old score file in any way? The new version of xsoldier uses the same format for the score file, but the score is inflated, so anyone can beat the old high score easily. I don't think the score file is compatible in a gamer's view. -- Oohara Yuuma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer PGP key (key ID F464A695) http://www.interq.or.jp/libra/oohara/pub-key.txt Key fingerprint = 6142 8D07 9C5B 159B C170 1F4A 40D6 F42E F464 A695 I always put away what I take. --- Ryuji Akai, "Star away" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
