The files contain a small collection of book openings and "mate in N moves" positions. They are in /var because when run learning enabled, crafty saves new openings in these very same files. > Depending on what /var/games/crafty/books.bin is meant to be, some > options would be to: > > * if it changes in the general course of the program (like a high > score or something), but isn't meant to be changed by hand This is exactly how the files are used when running crafty learning mode enabled. Whether it's the general case or a special case is debatable. I'm simply following the example from the previous maintainer. I have now moved the initial files in /usr/lib/games/crafty. They are then copied in postinst to /var/lib/games/crafty, not overwriting anything in the process. The files are removed in postrm on purge as you suggested. Additionally /var/cache/crafty from the older package is moved to /var/lib/games in preinst to preserve user "configuration." There were no lintian errors or warnings this time. I have tested that the package can be installed, upgraded, removed and purged cleanly. As before, the files are available at http://togo.dhs.org/debian/ -- Tommi Komulainen [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG 1024D/68388EE6 6FD6 DD79 EB38 BF6F 3533 09C0 04A8 9871 6838 8EE6
