.rott Folder In /usr/gp2x

[bomberman]

did rott write to my nand since I now always seem to get this folder on boot?

Is it OK to remove and how?

 

[bomberman]

Can anyone at least confirm they have the same issue?

OK, broken record here.

Can anyone "please" look at their directory and confirm this before I write a complaint to Puck?

Or even better, Puck gets to read this and give us the answer.

This does not seem like a "safe" thing. I would expect the programs that make changes to nand to reflect that.

Quiet in this thread...
Sorry, can't help - maybe have look at the source code (if available) to see what/why it does this?
Don't know any reason why it should write to anywhere but it's install directory..

Considering the gp2x menu does a chdir to the sd card before launching any application, it is indeed odd that there should be a .rott file in your /usr/gp2x directory, unless of course you ran it via telnet.

I'd delete it and see if it re-appears before sending a complaint.

A lot of Linux applications put their data in the home directory. Usually this is /root for root.

When I port stuff I usually include

export HOME=`pwd`/data

in the start up script so this doesn't happen.

May be rott sets HOME to /usr/gp2x
