Hello all, I am attempting to package IVAN (http://ivan.sf.net) as my first contribution to Fedora outside of bug reports. With the help of the fedora- kde guys I mostly understand writing specs and the packaging process in general. I have just a few nagging questions that are keeping me from submitting this for review right now: 1) When packaging a game, is it safe to assume that the user who will be running this is a member of the games group? 2) If not, what is the best method of applying setgid to the /usr/bin/ivan in the spec file? 3) Is it acceptable by review standards to have a zero length file in the rpm, even if rpmlint moans about it? It's a high score file under /var/games that apparently cannot be created by the main executable. I tried patching the source to create the file automatically, but I couldn't figure out how; it's probably has something to do with permissions. The mode on the fopen call was already "wb" which 'should' work... 4) Are packaging guidelines for games spelt out anywhere?
