I downloaded and installed Swift 3.0 Preview 1 on Ubuntu 14.04, following the 
instructions in https://swift.org/download/#releases.

For some reason, all files in the
  swift-3.0-PREVIEW-1-ubuntu14.04/usr/lib/swift/CoreFoundation
directory of the archive have mode "-rw-r-----", i.e. they are not 
world-readable.

As a consequence, swift cannot be executed as a "normal" user:

$ swift-3.0-PREVIEW-1-ubuntu14.04/usr/bin/swift
Welcome to Swift version 3.0 (swift-3.0-PREVIEW-1). Type :help for assistance.
 1> 1+2
error: cannot open file 
'/usr/local/src/Swift/swift-3.0-PREVIEW-1-ubuntu14.04/usr/lib/swift/CoreFoundation/module.modulemap':
 Permission denied

 1> 

That can be fixed easily with "chmod -R o+r ...", but is there a particular 
reason for this restriction? Is is worth a bug report? 

Regards, Martin
