THE INTERACTIVE FICTION INSTALLER	 -*- mode: text; fill-column: 78 -*-

An index file is distributed with this package so that no-download mode can
work right away. People without a net connection can use it to get an overview
of what's available. But note that this represents an old (the file
modification date should give you an idea) snapshot of the if-archive, and
many more games may be available already. You should issue
"install-int-fiction update" as soon as possible.


* Notes on the package scripts:

When newly installed, an empty registry will be created by postinst.

On removal (but not upgrade) the prerm will remove any registered games and
the registry itself.

There is no special rollback after that, any unwind will only re-create an
empty registry. The only case (that comes to my mind) where this can be a
problem is when we're removed in favor of a conflicting package, but the
installation of this package fails. It is not clear whether it's worthwhile to
carter to that case.
