Replying to [comment:20 jdemeyer]:
> My personal opinion on this is still that we don't need any of these
options, I don't think `sage -spkg` should mess with permissions or user
names.
First of all, this is a patch to {{{sage-pkg}}}, not {{{sage-spkg}}}. So
I'm talking about generating an spkg, not installing it. But remember, the
original reason for this patch was, that you indeed proposed in #11664 to
change the src (namely to give world-readable permissions).
Since I'm forced to work on a non-standard network file system, where I
cannot enforce the requested permissions, I have to change the permissions
while bundling the spkg, i.e. when generating the tar-file. (Despite from
my broken file system, the same is true, when working on a fat-based
drive, may USB sticks, etc.)
So, in order to provide valid !PolyBoRi spkgs in the future I have to
apply this patch.
