Not the kind of thing I would expect a software package for public consumption to contain. Maybe try 0755 instead, it would let a second user on this system also read and use the untarred content. Imagine that one user has the role to untar packages and the other has the role to index them, then the second will not be able to do the job. > now make dist creates indexer-acceptable tarballs. > (thanks to David Cantrell) > btw, the gnutar have an extended mode option, where it can be written > as "--mode=o-w", but the indexer was not satisfied. You can usually verify the perrmissions with 'tar tvvzf' on the produced tarball. -- andreas
