I have a folder outside /usr/ports that is not owned by root that I store ports 
I am making edits on, and whenever I use 'make extract' on any port within that 
folder while I am root, none of the permissions from the tarball it extracted 
from are kept.  For example, a configure script that is set to mode 0755 will be 
extracted as mode 0644, removing the execute flag.  I don't recall when this 
started happening, as it used to work.  I saw nothing in the flags used to 
extract that could be changed.  Manually extracting by running the commands 
myself fails as well.  When I ran it manually, I tried to add -p to tar's flags, 
but that still resulted in the execute flag being removed.  I'm not sure what's 
going on with this, but I do know it works fine within /usr/ports.  Any help on 
the matter is appreciated.

Thanks,
