Well, emacs isn't really suitable for servers. :-) Any such change would need to go through Tumbleweed first.

I am sure that Wolfgang would review any well made proposed changes to the package spec that cleanly separates the emacs games, and the system user requirement, into a subpackage to more cleanly separate run-time requirements.

My forename is Werner ... nevertheless what advantage would have a futher emacs version beside emacs-nox, emacs-x11, and emacs-gtk ... and this for a package system-user-games with the content:

rpm -ql system-user-games /usr/lib/sysusers.d/system-user-games.conf /var/games

which in fact triggers the creation of group and user games:

cat /usr/lib/sysusers.d/system-user-games.conf # Type Name ID GECOS [HOME] g games - u games - "Games account" /var/games

and even if you do skip the configure option --with-gameuser or choose --without-gameuser ... the games are there and I'll not go and strip those and make Tools->Games disapear as well as the Emacs Psychotherapist. Nor will I close the ELPA/MELPA chanel builtin in emacs to forbid users to load games from elpa (compare with C-h C-e) ... In fact what is your problem with /var/games and user:group games on a server? Beside this etags is a tool for emacs to set/use tags within source coodes:

rpm -qi etags | sed -rn '/^Description/,/^Description/p' Description : ETags generates tag files from source code in Pascal, Cobol, Ada, Perl, LaTeX, Scheme, Emacs Lisp/Common Lisp, Postscript, Erlang, Python, Prolog, and most assembler-like syntaxes. Distribution: openSUSE Tumbleweed

and liblcms2-2 is triggered by

ldd /usr/bin/emacs-nox | grep liblcms2 liblcms2.so.2 => /lib64/liblcms2.so.2 (0x00007fcfe7599000) rpm -qf /lib64/liblcms2.so.2 liblcms2-2-2.16-1.2.x86_64 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

If the user launching emacs is not in the "games" group, there is always this annoying warning display starting emacs on the command-line, making it look like something is broken: Warning: game dir '/var/games/emacs': Permission denied Can something be done to not display this annoying warning ? Other than that I do not understand why emacs-games is recommended and not suggested. I do not need it and have to lock it for this reason. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
