Chapter 4, The /usr Hierarchy, specific options of FHS 2.3, http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SPECIFICOPTIONS9 games Games and educational binaries (optional) The intention as far as I understand it (based on the above wording and practical implementations in for example Debian, Mandriva and FreeBSD) is that /usr/games is a dir that (c|sh)ould be in $PATH. However, as far as I know, /usr/games has never been in the default $PATH of any Red Hat originated distribution, so /usr/bin/foo -> /usr/games/foo symlinks should be provided by the packager (or binaries installed to /usr/games by upstream moved to /usr/bin). > I vote for /use/share/games/xxx because /usr/share is already rather > crowded. +1 What to do with arch-specific game files that are not variable game data is somewhat unaddressed by the FHS as far as I can tell. I'd opt for using %{_libdir}/games/$gamename or %{_libdir}/$gamename for them. The FE nethack package is one such example, IMO the game dir should be moved from /usr/games/nethack-* to %{_libdir}/games/nethack-* -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
