I advice to revert this. This is not hier(7)ful as there's no var neither under /usr nor under /usr/local. This is not better, as you should expect /usr/local to be mounted read-only along with /usr, so changing data should only reside under /var. If @sample doesn't do the thing, just don't use it, do not invent hacks. It's broken in many ways and I've planned to start discussion on that. See games/pachi, games/kobodeluxe, games/mirrormagic, games/powermanga as an example of how shared highscores/savegames may be handled. -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amdmi3@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amdmi3@jabber.ru http://www.amdmi3.ru
