Package: polyglot
Version: 1.4-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
seems that polyglot doesn't let me open an opening book for which I don't
have write permissions. When I try to open the engine "fruit" with its
opening book located in /usr/share/games/fruit/book_small.bin, polyglot
answers:
book_open(): can't open file "/usr/share/games/fruit/book_small.bin":
Permission denied
and quits.
Copying the book in a writable directory and adding write permissions solves
the issue.
On investigating the source, I found that polyglot actually tries to open
the book in update mode; file "book.cpp" contains:
BookFile = fopen(file_name,"rb+");
but I don't really know if it's necessary to do so, or if it's enough to
open the file read-only in any case.
You'll understand that the aforementioned workaround isn't always viable, or
at least not much of a practical value in some situations.
I'll be grateful for any light you could spread on the case.
Kindly yours,
Gabriele :-)
P.S.: added Fabian in Cc: as upstream author, please keep both recipients in
your answer :-)
