typespeed for Debian -------------------- If you use /etc/typespeedrc or ~/.typespeedrc to configure typespeed, take note: The directory for wordfiles (and high score files) are currently hard coded in the binary, and cannot be changed. This is caused by a little bit of hacking done to make typespeed conform to Debian policy, namely forcing the word files and the highscore files to be stored in separate directories. High score files are stored in /var/games/typespeed and word lists are stored in /usr/share/games/typespeed. Currently, /usr/share/games/typespeed/words.* are not registered as conffiles. All changes you make there will be lost. If you have ideas on how to allow changes but *not* create extra files in /usr/share/games/typespeed, please let me know. Extra files cannot be created there or else typespeed will become confused. In typespeed 0.3.5-3, there was a bug in the post-installation setup script (postinst) that caused several files high.words.* to be created in the root directory. These are harmless and should be removed. Downgrading from 0.4.1-2 to previous versions is unsupported, as high score files will be lost due to the migration to /var/games/typespeed in this version. -- Dafydd Harries Wed, 24 Mar 2004 01:16:55 +0000
