There are some instructions in /usr/share/doc/gnubg/README.Debian about the bearoff databases in general: | gnubg needs a pre-computed two-sided bearoff database for maximum | strength. Since this database takes some time to build, particularly on | slow systems, and takes over 6MB of disk space, the default is not to | build it. If you weren't asked whether you wanted to build the bearoff | database at installation time, or if you've changed your mind, run: | | dpkg-reconfigure gnubg | | to be asked again. (The one-sided bearoff database is much smaller and is | therefore included in the gnubg-data package.) | | The Debian version of gnubg has been modified to search in /var/lib/gnubg | as well as /usr/share/gnubg for its data files. This is where the | automatically built bearoff databases are put. If you want particularly | strong play and don't mind the disk space and computation time, you can | build even larger databases with: | | makebearoff -t 6x8 -f /var/lib/gnubg/gnubg_ts.bd | makebearoff -o 10 -f /var/lib/gnubg/gnubg_os.bd | | These two databases combined will take 190MB of disk space and may take | several hours to compute. Alternately, you can download prebuilt bearoff | database from <ftp://ftp.demon.nl/pub/games/gnubg/databases/>. Save | two-sided databases as gnubg_ts.bd and one-sided databases as gnubg_os.bd | in /var/lib/gnubg. | | If you want gnubg to use pre-built hypergammon databases, save them in the | same /var/lib/gnubg directory as hyperN.bd where N is the number of | chequers. See the man page for makehyper for more details. You can always just generate the hypergammon databases directly with makehyper, although of course downloading them is fine too. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ Bug-gnubg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnubg
