I vaguely recall it being mentioned several years ago. > Most people rely upon packages (which generally are build using umask 027), The addition of `umask 022' to the tar commands in `2.8.8rel.2.patch' still doesn't set the correct owners+permissions for the files in share/lynx_doc/. because the 1st tar cmd. picks up the owners/permissions for those files from when the source tarball was extracted--ie. when the umask and user/grp could have been anything: $ ls -l /opt/lynx/share/lynx_doc total 624 -rw------- 1 root rvp 565304 Mar 10 03:13 CHANGES -rw------- 1 root rvp 3381 Jan 12 00:36 COPYHEADER -rw------- 1 root rvp 267 Jan 12 00:36 COPYHEADER.asc -rw------- 1 root rvp 18156 Oct 11 2006 COPYING -rw------- 1 root rvp 258 Oct 11 2006 COPYING.asc drwx------ 2 root rvp 4096 Mar 15 08:19 docs -rw------- 1 root rvp 11922 May 24 2004 PROBLEMS -rw------- 1 root rvp 6829 Feb 14 18:30 README drwx------ 2 root rvp 4096 Mar 15 08:19 samples drwx------ 2 root rvp 4096 Mar 15 08:19 test What's needed, is to change this line in the install-doc rule in `makefile.in': -$(SHELL) -c 'case `id|sed -e "s/(.*//"` in uid=0) chown -R root $(DOCDIR);; esac' to this: -$(SHELL) -c 'case `id|sed -e "s/(.*//"` in uid=0) chown -R root.root $(DOCDIR);; esac' and add a couple of additional commands in there--something along the lines of: find $(DOCDIR) -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755 find $(DOCDIR) -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644 Thanks, Rajeev
