Hi,
After a discussion with Wolfram Schneider I was wondering about the
following:
It appears that the CVS tree has some perl scripts (typically in the
www subtree) with the execute permissions on. People that use CVSUP to
update a local copy of the CVS tree, seem to preserve these permissions
on their local CVS copy.
However, I use CTM to obtain a copy of the CVS tree, and in my case the
permissions are not preserved (in fact, all files in my CVS tree have
file mode 664). I'm wondering if this is a problem in my setup (e.g. I
have set the wrong umask or something) or that this is a generic problem
with CTM?
A more theoretical question would be: can we safely rely on the file
permissions on the CVS tree, or should we take precautions (in this case
use the Makefile to set execute permissions on the checkout files,
before running them).
Regards,
Frank
