Subject: bug#3800: [emacs-devel] emacs-23.0.96 make install misbehavior
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 14:12:58 -0600 (MDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CMM.0.94.0.1247170378.beebe@psi.math.utah.edu> (raw)
I'm doing "make install" for several builds of emacs-23.0.96, and I
just noticed this output (with the GNU default of prefix=/usr/local):
chmod -R a+r \
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.96 \
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp \
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.96/etc \
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.96/lisp \
/usr/local/share/info
While it is appropriate to run chmod at installation time for a
package's own files, it is HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE to run chmod on
directories and files belonging to other packages. The directories
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp
/usr/local/share/info
need to be removed from the install command chmod processing.
Their contents, and file permissions, are not the business of
emacs-x.y.z release installations. A given site, including ours, may
have local reasons for nondefault permissions in those directories.
