   - courier: fix inconsistent permissions given for a symbolic link in theĀ 
   permissions.dat file

this affects the 1.0.14 release? can you point the commit if so?

Yes, it's true that it affects prior releases. All symbolic links always have 0777 permissions, no matter what. But permissions.dat formally gives the permissions for a particular file that turns out to be a symbolic link, and the permissions are different than the permissions on the symbolic link destination. Since the symbolic links' permissions will turn out to be 0777 anyway, when you create them, this won't matter. This would only matter if your installation script manually works its way through permissions.dat and chmods everything, as indicated.

Otherwise this makes no difference, whatsoever.

This is commit 01327887cb6c5cd94331ae44bb13f4fad1cdab6c
