Re: Scores

[Mario Wenzel <maweki gmail com>]

If multiple people would have read/write access to the same hardlink in their home directory and /var/games this could be a security liability and also a hassle for setting this stuff up on new user creation, I guess.

Also, the new scores are using a gconf-based system, if I remember correctly. I don't think you can simply hard link them around.

In https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690430 we discuss that
moving scores from /var/games to the home directory prevents you from
sharing the same scores with other users on your machine. But if the
scores are not saved in your home directory, you lose your scores when
you switch computers or reinstall your OS (and keep your home
directory).

A "best of both worlds" solution would be to treat /var/games as
canonical and create a copy of the scores there in your home directory
as a backup.

Right now, most of the games have moved their scores into home.  The
easiest solution would be to modify the other games to do the same.

Thoughts?

What about using a hard link?

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link if you don't know what hard links are.
