I am trying to find a fix for
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=14439 (WiX: set/respect
file/directory permissions).
Currently I have the following assumptions / observations:
- Permissions are applied to the files installed in _CPack_Packages
before a generator starts packaging
- On windows only owner read, write and execute are being set and
all others ignored
- The write flag when not set seems to translate to the read-only
attribute
- The read flag can not actually be changed and is always set
- The execute flag can not be changed either and implicitly depends
on the filetype
Does that sound about right?
For WiX the best I could come up with is translating the file owner
write flag (as returned by cmSystemTools::GetPermissions) to the
read-only attribute and ignoring all other file and directory permissions.
Does anyone have alternate ideas or suggestions?
Nils
