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?
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games/Packaging has a section that covers this.
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...
If you have a good reason to do so, just put a comment there in the spec file and do it. If a reviewer points it out, just explain why you did what you did.
4) Are packaging guidelines for games spelt out anywhere?
Just the URL I posted above. ~spot -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
