Hi,
I've now got 3 pending bugs against 3 different games, because it seems that prelink and selinux don't mix well with binaries installed under /usr/games. (*)
I recall having looked at the FHS when initially packaging these games, and having left them install their binaries in /usr/games/ since it was the default behaviour, and I wanted to stick as much as possible to upstream.
I read the Games SIG packaging recommendations : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games
There is a mention of _not_ using /usr/share/games/ and putting stuff under /usr/share/ directly, but no mention of binaries in /usr/games/.
Should we consider it "wrong"? Should the default selinux policy be updated?
Matthias

IMHO /usr/games is similar to /usr/X11 : an historical artefact the FHS accepted for legacy compatibility reasons, that should be deprecated to treat games like every other distro app.

+1
The omission of information on /usr/games from the Games SIG guidelines was an oversight that will be corrected shortly.
