In order for +this to work, the binaries need to be installed setgid and the score files +owned by the appropriate group and/or owner (traditionally the "games" +user/group). The following variables, documented in more detail in +mk/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk, control this behaviour: SETGIDGAME, GAMEDATAMODE, +GAMEGRP, GAMEMODE, GAMEOWN. + +Note that per default, setgid installation of games is disabled; setting +SETGIDGAME=YES will set all the other variables accordingly. + +A package should therefor never hard code file ownership or access permissions +but rely on INSTALL_GAME and INSTALL_GAME_DATA to set these correctly. + + 11 Submitting & Committing ========================== |
