Public bug reported: installer.rb attempts to install bin files to a standard path with world execute permissions:-
File.open bin_script_path, 'wb', 0755 do |file| file.print app_script_text(filename) end However this still obeys the users umask so if it's a restrictive umask they won't have a world execute. Specifically using the file chmod(755) method should set this after the file has been written. ** Affects: rubygems (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1023836 Title: Bin files get installed with the sudo users umask To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rubygems/+bug/1023836/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
