KESHAV P.R. mentions ntfs and such partitions that, if I understand correctly, don't do per-file executable bit and are therefore typically mounted with everything "executable". Is there any legitimate use of an executable bit in a package? Perhaps makepkg --source could just strip all of the executable bits*. If they bit is really necessary for something, the PKGBUILD could use `chmod` or `install` to make something executable... I know, that's not particularly Arch-y. *(except directories of course) -Isaac
