tags 688259 patch thanks
Hi Drew and Andreas, i had a look at the issue and prepared a patch for it. As far as i can see changing the path for $static_vardir to /usr/share/games/zangband/lib is sufficient to avoid the deletion of raw files in /var/games/zangband/data. Running piuparts afterwards was successful. The wrong path in zangband.postinst caused the for loop to touch only one file, "*.raw". I'm not sure whether the postinst script is still necessary nowadays. It seems it's some kind of remnant from the past. It might be too late for Wheezy but maybe we could drop it for Jessie completely. The make file in /lib/data seems to take care of installing the raw files anyway. Overwriting of the score file seems suspicious too, but i don't know enough about zangband to assess the issue properly. Drew, if you are still interested in having a co-maintainer, i can prepare a new version for zangband and fix some lintian warnings. Regards, Markus
