Hi,
Joey, do not remove the scores file, just zero size it. the
files have group read permissions, OK? In the postinst, you can touch
a file, set the permission, and the games *ALL* work. Try it. zero
sized score file. correct permissions. simple. (did you think through
as to why a lot of games are setgid games? and why a lot of files,
including score files, are group writable?)
Jeeze.
Extra files: 56K + dosemu image
__> du -s /etc
5663 /etc
I have a pretty complete system, and the increase in size of
/etc is about 1% (dosemu aside). Live figures.
advantages of all local mods in /etc:
a) only need to backup /etc
b) /etc is always local
c) configuration files are all supposed to be in /etc
follows current policy
d) available on system startup
probably other I can think up on more than 10 seconds notice.
As to the conffile not being a configuration file, I think you
are wrong on that issue (you doubtless feel I am wrong). I think this
is a time for some deadlock breakage to occur.
I think we have reached a point where neither one of us is
saying anything new.
If you think policy is restrictive, get it changed. I think
this feeling of being restricted is just because you are not trying
hard enough (to be polite).
