Thanks. I've uploaded this quick patch in Debian for now, but I'll revert if you upload a better one: http://sources.debian.net/src/gnuchess/6.2.2-2/debian/patches/exit.patch/ Thanks, Vincent On Tue, Sep 06, 2016 at 07:42:33AM +0200, Antonio Ceballos wrote : > Hi Vincent, > > Thanks for reporting this issue on version 6.2.2.

gnuchess --addbook doesn't exit anymore
Hello, In Debian, we build the gnuchess-book package using gnuchess --addbook. It now fails to build [1] because this command doesn't return anymore. This change has been introduced in 6.2.2 (it works fine with 6.2.1). Would it be possible to revert this change?

Memory leaks
Hello, A bug has been reported in Debian, see: http://bugs.debian.org/691105 The bug report doesn't give much information but it seems gnuchess leaks memory. Indeed, running something like: valgrind --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes ./src/gnuchess returns lots of output.

It would be easier for me if you do a release with this option because I won't have to take a svn snapshot.

gnuchess 6, trouble to build book.bin
Hi, I'm trying to update the gnuchess Debian package. In Debian, we have two packages: gnuchess and gnuchess-book, and I'm having trouble building gnuchess-book with gnuchess 6. gnuchess-book is built using book_1.02.pgn using this command: echo -e "book add book_1.02.pgn\nquit" | gnuchess With gnuchess 5, it produced a book.dat file which is installed by gnuchess-book. With gnuchess 6, gnuchess does not wait for the book add command to finish before exiting, so the book is not built. And I could not find another easy way to build the book. Do you have any idea ? Or could you please fix gnuchess so that we could build the book as in gnuchess 5.
