Packaging a game, need help with setgid security

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello group,

I have recently finished packaging the game IVAN (http://ivan.sf.net) for 
Fedora 11:

Iter Vehemens ad Necum is a graphical roguelike game.  It features advanced
bodypart and material handling, multi-colored lighting and, above all, deep
gameplay.

Like many roguelikes, it has a shared high score file and Bones files that 
all users are meant to have their scores and final data written to. As a 
result, the game is forced to run setgid games so that it has the rights to 
write to /var/games/ivan/. While packaging this application, I got a lot of 
help from some of the Fedora-KDE guys (hi Kevin, Ben) and they both 
suggested I run this through Fedora Security SIG so that the game would 
properly demote itself to non-setgid when it doesn't need to.

What is the proper channel to go about this? Should I just mail to the 
security list? Should I put this package up for review beforehand/in the 
meantime?

Thanks and Best,
Ryan Rix
