After an 'emerge world', the high-scores-files of my Gnome-games, located in /var/lib/games/* , were all empty. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge world 2.ls -l /var/lib/games 3. Actual Results: All files are empty (0 bytes) Expected Results: The original files should have been saved.
gnome-games is maintained by the gnome folks.
I hope you didn't lose any world-records in the process... :) A fix for this is now part of the ebuild for gnome-games-2.4.2. Thanks for your report.
