Ern, /usr/games isn't mentioned elsewhere in the doc and is very

Disagreed. 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.
Ah, I did a ctrl+f on /usr/games and that didn't show up.
However, as far as I know, /usr/games has never been in the default
$PATH of any Red Hat originated distribution, so /usr/bin/foo
-> /usr/games/foo symlinks should be provided by the packager (or
binaries installed to /usr/games by upstream moved to /usr/bin).
I say move the binaries to /usr/bin
I vote for /use/share/games/xxx because /usr/share is already rather
crowded.
+1
What to do with arch-specific game files that are not variable game data
is somewhat unaddressed by the FHS as far as I can tell. I'd opt for
using %{_libdir}/games/$gamename or %{_libdir}/$gamename for them.
I say be consistent if we do /usr/share/games/xxx we should also do
/use/lib/games/xxx
The
FE nethack package is one such example, IMO the game dir should be moved
from /usr/games/nethack-* to %{_libdir}/games/nethack-*
Yes, add Maelstrom the the list which puts a dir under /usr/games, this
should be moved to /usr/share/games or /usr/lib/games depending on if
its archdependent or not.

Hans
