[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 276961] Re: freeciv: user settings overwritten and overridden

Thanks for your report, could you please install the freeciv 2.1.10
packages here and let me know if they fix your issue.

As an aside, freeciv now uses gna.org for bugtracking, so filing bugs upstream should be much easier.

Status in “freeciv” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
I use 
freeciv-client-gtk	2.1.3-1
on ubuntu 8.04

this is not a bug in ubuntu, but freeciv does not have a usable bug tracker, so I m reporting it here.

1. freeciv overwrites user settings in the .civclientrc file: e.g., when I create a "global worklist", it does NOT persist between sessions (it IS saved into the .civclientrc file, but on the next civclient invocation the global worklist is no longer available).

2. when I start the client and type "/read .freeciv/my" to load my server settings, the settings _are_ loaded. but when I leave the game, the default settings are restored and I have to re-issue the "/read" command.
