PERMISSIONS: heroes-sdl is installed sgid games by default. To remove this, execute the following command as root: dpkg-statoverride --add root root 755 /usr/games/heroes-sdl BUILDING HEROES: On some platforms, Heroes build-conflicts with the libraries for one of its targets. This is because when I last updated these lines, those libraries were not available on those platforms. In the past, when libraries became available on a new platform, the autobuilders (and people building NMUs) have occasionally built against the new library *without telling me*. (so heroes-sdl, for instance, would suddenly be available on a new platform) This led to problems getting new versions of Heroes into testing, since I wasn't aware that I should enable autobuilds of that binary package on that platform. In short, what this means is: - if you run into problems with this while building Heroes for your own use, you may ignore them. (-d) In fact, you can leave out some build-deps and it'll still work; the missing library won't be used. - if you can't build Heroes due to a Build-Conflicts, this means that you should file a wishlist bug telling me that the particular library is now available on your platform. - if you trigger and Build-Conflicts *and* you are building official packages (eg, a binary NMU), stop, do not pass go, do not upload the generated packages unless you first resolve the conflict! -- Daniel Burrows
