Correct. Some of the games that failed --b-a-n had the chown/grp/mod
changes hand coded in InstallScript and so it was easy to move those
commands to PostInstScript. However, the remaining packages (like
angband) have the ownership change coded inside a Makefile which will
require patching it out there and then repeating the command in
PostInstScript. That's what I did with xinvaders just recently.
Angband has both (inside Makefile and in PostInstScript). It also has
"--with-setgid=games" in ConfigureParams, so perhaps just removing that,
finding the Makefile commands that option activated, and copying the
remaining chown commands to PostInstScript will be enough. Warning:
"find lib/ -exec chown games:games {} \;" looks like it might find way
to many incorrect files for PostInstScript if lib=/sw/lib, so make sure
that you're giving it a full path that points to the relevant angband files.
