Hi, I'm in NM and I have adopted and packaged crafty, a chess engine.
Now, crafty keeps its opening books files in /var/lib/crafty and these files are updated whenever a new position is played. Crafty 'learns' :-) My problem is : when upgrading the package, the files in /var/lib/crafty are overwritten by the original files coming with the new version package. How can I preserve these files from being overwritten ? The files are normally installed by debian/rules : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/debian/crafty-17.13]$ less debian/rules [...] install: build dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_clean -k dh_installdirs # Add here commands to install the package into debian/tmp. install -d debian/tmp ln -sf ./crafty.6.gz \ debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man6/crafty.bin.6.gz install -m2755 -o root -g games crafty debian/tmp/usr/games/crafty.bin install crafty.wrapper debian/tmp/usr/games/crafty install -m664 -o root -g games books.bin debian/tmp/var/lib/crafty install -m664 -o root -g games book.{bin,lrn} debian/tmp/var/lib/crafty install -m664 -o root -g games position.{bin,lrn} debian/tmp/var/lib/crafty install debian/doc/crafty.{faq,doc} debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/crafty install debian/doc/read.me debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/crafty install -m666 debian/crafty.rc debian/tmp/etc [...] Thanks. -- Eric VAN BUGGENHAUT [EMAIL PROTECTED]
