I'm working on my first debian package at the moment. Its the server for a multiplayer strategy game (www.empire.cx) I've got to make a lot of changes to the source to comply with the FHS so I'd like to double check my plans before I go ahead. binaries -> /usr/games data files -> /var/games/empire/data info files -> /usr/share/games/empire
Does anyone have experience making radical changes to a program to make it fit the FHS? Could this be worth sending a patch back to the upstream maintainer explaining what I'm doing and asking them to integrate it? Is the FHS a widely accepted standard? thanks, johno
