Unison's behavior was changed in 2.27 to provide a workaround to the chmod failure issue. It has been reverted back in 2.32 and the dontchmod preference has been added as a better workaround. -- Jerome -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
