In kbuild-2.5-release-1.12, some of the script files are checked for the
correct permissions (see below for scripts/Makefile-2.5 fragment).
Instead of trying to change the permissions of the source tree (which
might be owned by another user, eg. aegis), would it be possible to
_copy_ these files to the KBUILD_OBJTREE directory and then change the
permissions ?
Cheers,
Brendan Simon.
# The patch command does not set execute permission on scripts, which is
a big
# nuisance. A tar ball will have the correct permissions in the source
tree, a
# patched tree will not. So whenever a user does make *config, check and
# correct the problem permissions. Yes, this writes to the source tree
but I
# don't see any alternative. The write is only done once and only if
patch has
# corrupted the source tree permissions. KAO
