wargames broken
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:48 EST
Description of problem: The wargames script, part of the bsd-games collection, searches for the user's input in /usr/games/, and if found, executes it. All game binaries are now located in /usr/bin, however, so no matter what one types one gets back the failsafe option: A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bsd-games-2.7-15.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. wargames 2. Type in the name of a bsd-games binary Actual results: Game not launched Expected results: Game launched Additional info:
After taking a closer look at this 'game', I'm not sure it should even be included. It's just a launcher for other games that are already in the user's PATH. I'm going to 'fix' this by removing wargames from this package.
It is quite humorous, though. Can't you leave it in, but change it so it checks that the name typed matches one of the game installed by bsd-games?
Since all of the bsd-games are installed in /usr/bin, it would require rewriting the logic in wargames to filter only on games from bsd-games. I could instead have it operate on anything in /usr/bin, instead of /usr/games, but I'd really prefer just to remove wargames.
'wargames' has been removed for FC6 and rawhide.
