Hi everyone, I'm the maintainer of crafty, a chess engine (http://packages.debian.org/crafty).
When you install crafty for the first time, it installed compiled opening books in /var/lib/crafty. Then, as it plays against you, it 'learns' from the games and add the new moves to the opening books that live in /var/lib/crafty. Because You don't want your 'updated' opening books to be replaced by crafty's default ones when you install a new version of the package, these opening books are marked as conffiles. Now, recently, bugs have been filed against the package, complaining about conffiles being binaries: http://bugs.debian.org/154798 http://bugs.debian.org/154502 So, is it a problem to have conffiles being binary ? Do you have any idea about how I could fix this (if it actually has to be fixed)? Please CC me on reply.
