At the moment, there is a problem with file permissions in texlive
texmf for 2016 (like the redundant files included in the source, it
will get fixed one day), so for the moment I'm trying to fix these
up after the install.
On my previous build I eventually realised I was not addressing the
two files with 700 perms, but I was shocked to see that I had only
managed to fix the few files with 640 perms, not the vast number
with 600 perms. At that time I thought I had maybe not saved the
updated script before I ran the build, so I added the 700 test and
saved it.
But now it looks as if only the *last* of alternatives is being
used. And yet find itself is finding all of them
What I have at hte moment is (one line, although it will wrap here):
find /opt/texlive/${TEXYEAR}/texmf-dist -type f -perm 600 -o -perm
640 -o -perm 700 -exec chmod -v 644 {} \;
From the two runs I can see that there are 667 files with 600 perms,
5 with 640, and 2 with 700.
After the second run I tried:
find /opt/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/ -type f -perm 600 -o -perm 640 -o
-perm 700 | wc -l
672
Running this on the individual files shows 667 with 600 perms and 5
with 640 perms (and 0 now with 700 perms). I suppose that -exec is
somehow only applying to the last 'or' test. Guess I'll pipe the
files to xargs for the next run.
(went away, forgot to post this) - xargs worked of course, but then I
found a few directories with 2700 perms (apart from the 2750 perms I
had already changed) which caused error messages when I went looking
for a TTF or OTF font within texmf-dist using kpsepath - yet another
build is now under way, and now also using xargs for the directories.
At least it stops me worrying about other things all the time.
