Why do files/directories inside a src tarball need to be 644/755 respectively? [1]
I run with umask 027 so this error is going to bite me every time I create a new PKGBUILD to upload, or forget to change the permissions on my existing PKGBUILD's.
I have to agree with Philip. I also have my system with a different umask 002. It is really annoying to have to remember every time I want to create/update a package to: 1) change temporary the umask in my system 2) check that all the files that will be bundle in the aur package have the correct permission set 3) call mkaurball 4) change back umask ( if using the same terminal ) In my last two submissions to the AUR after the change the truth is that it meant that I had to do the job twice as I did not realize that I forgot to change the permissions Notice that before AUR 3 just calling "makepkg --source" was enough. Any good reason for this change? If there any possibility as Philip proposes that this is done in the serve side? Thanks all for the great job, Hector
