Re: policy violation and bug reports.



Hi,
	Backing up .var as is a whole different ball game from backing
 up /var and /etc:
______________________________________________________________________
__> df /var /var/spool/mirror/ 
Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hdd5            1014781  177525   784834     18%   /var
/dev/hdd6            1014781  699352   263007     73%   /var/spool/mirror
__> du -s /etc
5663    /etc

	900M vs 5.5M.

	I would agree wth you that we should talk about lambdamoo and
 dosemu, just because of the sheer size of the files involved. Are
 these files confffiles in the real sense? or are they really data
 files? If they are dat files, can we come up with a scheme that
 accomplishes what we want within the framework of policy? )like not
 having the files in packages, but manipulated by postinst.

	I do not think that that is too much to ask (the postinst is
 rather simple to write)

	I still think that game score files should not be conffiles.
