Debian Patches

Status for pachi/1:1.0-16

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
debian.diff Assorted upstream build/runtime fixes Initialise possibly-unused variables, drop dead/unused locals, fix the
signed/unsigned comparison in print_text(), clear the name-entry field with
spaces instead of dots, and draw the remaining name placeholders correctly.		 Martin A. Godisch <godisch@debian.org> no
Makefile.am.diff Do not chgrp/chmod the score file during make install Permissions on the shared score file are handled by the maintainer scripts
via dpkg-statoverride; the install-data-local rule also lacked $(DESTDIR).		 Martin A. Godisch <godisch@debian.org> not-needed
const-string-literals.diff Make read-only string parameters/fields const to silence -Wwrite-strings The .c sources are compiled as C++ (included from faes.cpp), where string
literals have type const char[]. Passing them (or the DATADIR macro) to
functions taking a plain char*, and storing them in struct Cstages's char*
members, triggers 142 "ISO C++ forbids converting a string constant to
char*" warnings. All affected functions and fields only read the string,
so widening them to const char* is safe and removes every such warning.

scoredir.diff Store the high-score file under /var/games (FHS) The maintainer scripts create and manage the shared high-score file under
/var/games/pachi, but the compiled-in SCOREDIR still pointed at the old
/var/lib/games location, so the game never found its score file.		 Martin A. Godisch <godisch@debian.org> not-needed
scorefile-null-check.diff Do not dereference a NULL FILE* when the score file is missing load_hiscoredata()/save_hiscoredata() passed the result of fopen() straight
to getc()/putc() without checking it, crashing the game whenever the
high-score file did not exist yet.		 Martin A. Godisch <godisch@debian.org> no
