Package: rockdodger
Version: 1.1.4-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Please consider using dh-cruft to register & purge /var/games/rockdodger.scores.
This has several benefits:
*) On the technical side, this keep your game in sync
with the one maintained by Games Team
without any supplemental later work needed on your side.
The "rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /var/games/" for example.
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-games/2025/12/msg00016.html
*) This relieves the cruft-ng maintainers from having to write
~1000 shadow rules for the cruft-ng forensic tool;
that will slowly bitrot over the years:
https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-security-team/cruft-ng/-/blob/master/rules/rockdodger?ref_type=heads
Please have a look a the newly generated postrm script & the patch itself.
Greetings
Alexandre

Closes: 1038551 1105733 1139286
Changes:
rockdodger (1.1.4-5) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Fix FTBFS with make --shuffle=random: declare the dependency of the
objects on the generated config.h explicitly (new patch
make-shuffle.diff), closes: #1105733.
* Fix FTBR by removing COMPILEDATE (new patch ftbr-compiledate.diff); the
patch also drops the now-unused COMPILEDATE define from the Makefile.
* Use dh-cruft to register and purge /var/games/rockdodger.scores: add
debian/rockdodger.purge, drop the manual removal from the postrm and
build-depend on dh-sequence-cruft, closes: #1139286.
* Port from SDL 1.2 to SDL 2 (new patch sdl2-port.diff); build-depend on
libsdl2-dev, libsdl2-image-dev and libsdl2-mixer-dev instead of the
SDL 1.2 -dev packages, closes: #1038551.
* sdl2-port.diff: use a real fullscreen mode switch (SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN)
and render the framebuffer 1:1 instead of scaling a desktop-sized window,
restoring the crisp text of the SDL 1.2 version.
* Build with hardening=+all so the setgid binary gets bindnow/full RELRO
(the dpkg default only enables partial RELRO).
* Set the setgid-games bit via dpkg-statoverride in the postinst instead of
a bare chmod, so the mode is recorded in dpkg's database; remove it again
in the postrm.
* Drop the manual update-desktop-database calls from the maintainer scripts
and rely on the desktop-file-utils trigger instead.
* Harden runtime path and string handling (new patch
harden-runtime-paths.diff): guard getenv("HOME") against NULL and use
snprintf() for the data-derived version banner and high-score names.
* Polish the .desktop entry: short GenericName plus a Keywords field (new
patch desktop-entry-polish.diff).
* Drop the redundant Priority field from the source stanza (the default is
optional).
