Package: checkinstall
Version: 1.6.1-4
Severity: wishlist
I have a umask of 027. I find that many programs fail to change the
permissions of installed files, so that "make install" ends up with
files that are not world-readable/executable.
Of course, I report this as a bug, but given that there are many
programs with this problem, it would be good if checkinstall could fix
it, by making sure that for every installed file the r and x
permissions for others are the same as for owner. (This would then
even work for users more paranoid than me, who for example used a
umask of 007.) I suggest the name "--fix-perms". Directories are
already fixed, of course, by --reset-uids.
