Hello, At the last #debian-games meeting there was also a short discussion about global highscore management. There has already been discussion about that on this mailing list, and there is a wiki page with a recommendation[1]. However, there is no standard apart from how to properly open a setgid highscore file. There have also been ideas about a peer-to-peer protocol to share highscores[2]. But perhaps it is also possible to write a dbus specification for highscore announcements and queries, so that a dbus listener can manage the high scores? This would mean games do not have to use setgid permissions anymore. Comments?
