29 This one was 2y-2n-3a, so I think we should try to reconsider it from
30 another perspective to get more uniform vote. New facts about FHS also
31 came up during the meeting.
32
33 The specific directories, and they relevance to PMS:
34
35 | GAMES_PREFIX=${GAMES_PREFIX:-/usr/games}
36 | GAMES_BINDIR=${GAMES_BINDIR:-${GAMES_PREFIX}/bin}
37
38 Custom Gentoo prefix. Implicitly causes /usr/games/bin for
39 binaries, /usr/games/lib* for libraries.
40
41 PMS states only /usr/games as bindir for games (i.e. no /bin subdir, no
42 libraries).
43
44 | GAMES_PREFIX_OPT=${GAMES_PREFIX_OPT:-/opt}
45
46 Not used directly, only for prepgamesdirs which is going out.
47
48 | GAMES_DATADIR=${GAMES_DATADIR:-/usr/share/games}
49
50 PMS valid.
51
52 | GAMES_DATADIR_BASE=${GAMES_DATADIR_BASE:-/usr/share}
53
54 Not used at all. Intended for use when game appends 'games' itself...
55
56 | GAMES_SYSCONFDIR=${GAMES_SYSCONFDIR:-/etc/games}
57
58 Custom Gentoo path.
59
60 | GAMES_STATEDIR=${GAMES_STATEDIR:-/var/games}
61
62 PMS valid.
63
64 | GAMES_LOGDIR=${GAMES_LOGDIR:-/var/log/games}
65
66 Gentoo custom.
