Package: freecol
Version: 0.7.4.dfsg-1
Severity: minor
Hello,
Freecol puts a file named FreeCol.log in your current directory, which is not
needed. I think it would be better if it were to be placed in ~/.FreeCol/ or so.
Two reasons exists why it is annoying: it is just not nice to have random files
at random places, and if you put it in a mounted directory, the game can get
incredibly slow to play as it writes/reads that file very often. At least, it
was very slow when i played it over my sshfs connection.
I guess that the solution to this would be quite trivial to change, probably
this file (from the debian source package):
> src/net/sf/freecol/common/logging/DefaultHandler.java
where the line
> private static final String fileName = new String("FreeCol.log");
Greetings,
Dirk
ps: Maybe (probably) it is not a debian thing, and I should have mentioned it
upstream?
