pyscrabble for Debian

---------------------

My assumption is that most users don't need or want to run their own

server. Therefore the PyScrabble server is in a separate package that

installs it as a system daemon. By default the server runs under a

dedicated user account, created on installation. It should not be run

directly from the command line, only with the help of the init script.

The original code is modified so that instead of

~/.config/pyscrabble/, the server reads its configuration from files

in /etc/pyscrabble/, stores its database in /var/lib/pyscrabble, and

logs to /var/log/pyscrabble/pyscrabble.log.  The log is not

automatically rotated, because the server can't currently be told to

reopen the log, and restarting it kills all client sessions and

ongoing games.

For the same reason, the server is not restarted when upgraded. The

administrator should notify the users and restart the server at the

earliest opportunity.

After starting the server for the first time, you should immediately

register a user account, as the first user is automatically made

administrator.
