Hi Markus,

I've made recent progress wit dh-cruft
(It could almost be called dh-games).

I'm a doing an audit of the files under /var/games
with "apt-file search /var/games"
and stumbled on the zangband data files.

Are those meant to be modified ?

Any way, could those be shipped in /usr/share/games/zangband/
and only be copied to /var/games/zangband/ at
install time by a .postinst script ?


The cleansing could be delegated to dh-cruft.

I can provide a patch on request.

Greetings

Alexandre

Hi Alexandre,

I believe the game stores some save games, character or progression details in
/var/games/zangband but I'm not entirely sure. I haven't played it in quite a
while. I'm also out-of-sync when it comes to dh-cruft at the moment and what
you try to achieve with it. Please go ahead with a patch if you want to improve
something. Maybe zangband should behave like angband in main in this regard?

Cheers,

Markus

Hi Alexandre,

as per bug #1141455 I've created a Git repository at

https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/zangband/

While Markus has not yet confirmed that he is OK with team maintenance I
think for providing patches this place might be quite convenient anyway.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
