Hi all, My user has umask 077. When I do sudo make install, this umask seems to affect installation: the folders /usr/local/share/man/man* get created as belonging to root:staff with permissions 2700, so the installed manpages cannot be read by anyone except root. With the default umask of 002, however, the folders are correctly created with permissions 2755.
It doesn't make sense to install manpages that only root can read, so wouldn't it be better if the Makefile somehow used a different umask when installing man pages? Best, -- Antoine Amarilli
