Ouch, right. Will take a look at it, though given that this is a development release it's not that high on my agenda - I guess I will get around to fix it for the next upstream release of 1.9.3, whenever that might be. > Another oddity is that the editor script is > /usr/games/wesnoth-1.9_editor (with underscore) contrary to the other > scripts that are with hyphen, e.g. wesnoth-1.9-nolog. That's because the editor script originally was named wesnoth_editor by upstream. wesnoth-nolog is a wrapper script that redirects output to /dev/null. They are historically named that way so I won't change that part. > By the way, why is it installing in /usr/games instead of /usr/bin? > That's weird. Is that a leftover from old Unix structure? That's part of the FHS. No games are meant to install into the regular /usr/bin path so they don't clutter the path for the root account (which doesn't have /usr/games in its $PATH). > PS: Thanks for packaging wesnoth, I'm going to have my first try at it > now. :) Please notice that wesnoth-1.9 is the development branch and every update in that version might potentially be incompatible with the former version, in case of safegames and similar. If you want to take on a campaign you are well adviced to install wesnoth-1.8 instead and start from there.
