Re: Cygwin 1.7: Possible file permission errors in 'base-files'

Is this a side-effect of 'base-files-profiles.sh' not completing without errors, or is this set in the packaging? (Technically, the files with the permission problems are /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh.done and /etc/postinstall/base-files-profiles.sh.done.) Technically it's a packaging bug. The scripts should have execute permissions like all the shell scripts in /etc/postinstall and /etc/preremove. John, I fixed that on Sourceware and created a 3.8-4 package with execute permissions for postinstall and preremove scripts. It shouldn't affect postinstall, though. When calling `bash -c script', then bash runs these scripts as long as the user has read permissions on Cygwin. Which is actually kind of a bug in Cygwin. I've put that on my TODO list.

Thanks, I'll change my 'source' version. I probably changed the permissions higher up with recursion and, since setup never complained, never noticed.
