10.48 Packages that install score files
=======================================
Certain packages, most of them in the games category, install a score file
that allows all users on the system to record their highscores. In order for
this to work, the binaries need to be installed setgid and the score files
owned by the appropriate group and/or owner (traditionally the "games"
user/group). The following variables, documented in more detail in
mk/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk, control this behaviour: SETGIDGAME, GAMEDATAMODE,
GAMEGRP, GAMEMODE, GAMEOWN.
Note that per default, setgid installation of games is disabled; setting
SETGIDGAME=YES will set all the other variables accordingly.
A package should therefor never hard code file ownership or access permissions
but rely on INSTALL_GAME and INSTALL_GAME_DATA to set these correctly.
