> I'm currently busy with the movement of gnome from /opt/gnome to /usr.
> One of the last packages I need to do is gnome-games, which is

> Current situation:
> - gnome-games package, many games, different ones for every major
> release
> - several score files per game, created by postinstall/postupgrade with
> root:user permissions, writable by user, created as 660 files.
> - score files can change in any release
>
> Now a games group would come in handy:
> - forget about the post_install and score files
> - install game binaries setgid games
> - users can't cheat anymore because they can only write score files by
> executing the game
>
> I would propose to add a games group and a directory called /var/games
> or /var/lib/games with root:games ownership and 775 rights.
