Bug 809383 – games-arcade/barbarian-bin-1.01-r2: scores are erased upon re-emerge

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Róbert Čerňanský 2021-08-21 09:27:32 UTC]

When games-arcade/barbarian-bin is re-emerged scores are not preserved.  The score file is replaced with an empty one.

# ls -l /var/games/barbarian-bin/
total 4
-rw-rw---- 1 root gamestat 60 Dec 20  2020 heroes.hoh

# emerge -av barbarian-bin
...
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ~] games-arcade/barbarian-bin-1.01-r2::gentoo  0 KiB
...

# ls -l /var/games/barbarian-bin/
total 0
-rw-rw---- 1 root gamestat 0 Aug 21 11:08 heroes.hoh


Expected behavior:

Score files are user data files and should be preserved during emerge operations.
