To be honest, this is a minor case and you shouldn't expect the council |
| 6 |
to do anything about it. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Last time it really made a difference was about the pkgconfig discussion |
| 9 |
and neither QA nor the council cared enough to enforce consistent rules |
| 10 |
about it. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
No one cares about cross-distro compatibility. |

The more important argument is simplicity imo and maintenance burden. We |
| 15 |
are not just talking about games supposed to install into |
| 16 |
/usr/games/bin, but literally in any location, since those games |
| 17 |
variables are modifiable and advertised as such (so this wasn't really |
| 18 |
about FHS compliance in the first place). Please look at the downstream |
| 19 |
patches, sed hacks, symlink workarounds, wrapper scripts and eclasses |
| 20 |
(even gnome-games.eclass) that were introduced because of this. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Sure, it's doable, but still a lot of work to support a corner case. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
In paludis, if you want to modify permissions for all games globally, |
| 25 |
you could easily do so via an ebuild phase hook, e.g. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
# cat /etc/paludis/hooks/ebuild_install_post/games_perms.bash |
| 28 |
if [[ ${CATEGORY} =~ "games" ]] ; then |
| 29 |
find /var/tmp/paludis/${CATEGORY}-${PF}/image/usr/bin -type f ... |
| 30 |
fi |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I'm not sure why this case has to be supported via an eclass. |
