Hi all, I was looking at bug FS#5908 [1] which asks for directory permissions to be checked somewhere in order to stop screwing your system when installing a poorly made package (as directory permissions get overwritten when extracting packages). This at first glance seems about a two line addition to the tidy_install function of makepkg. However, can anybody come up with a case where package directories shouldn't have 755 permissions? If so, I guess this would require either the addition of some option which would stop the directory permissions getting fixed (dirperm?) or just checking/fixing the permissions of a predetermined set of directories. If needed, which is preferable. Cheers, Allan [1] http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5908
