Why don't you use autoconf/automake? it usually creates an install-sh script that makes sure the permissions of any file installed (and directories created) are world readable --and if needed, executable. So yes, FOSS that uses autoconf/automake takes care of it. --daniel _______________________________________________ fossology mailing list [email protected] http://fossology.org/mailman/listinfo/fossology
