[gentoo-dev] ebuild execute permissions: problem with cvs

[Dan Armak]

Hi all,

There's a problem (at least on my machine) with some ebuilds. They have some 
or all execute permissions set. Examples are skel.build, all but one of the 
sys-kernel/linux/linux-* ebuilds, and about 50 others. 

I tried disabling execute permissions on skel.build. cvs wouldn't recognize 
it as a new revision, so I also removed a dot from the end of a sentence in 
the file. When I commited and re-updated, it was executable again.

I don't know what's going on, but I think someone with cvs root access should 
handle this.

OK, I did some things to the CVS repository and now all ebuilds should *not*
be executable.  I didn't want to do it to all files because I'm sure we have
some executable scripts lying around somewhere and I don't want to mess them
up.  This problem may have been caused by a permissions mishap caused my me
a couple of months ago.

Everything's OK now. Only cvs still doesn't see permission differences as 
different revisions, so I'll have to delete and re-checkout all ebuilds. But 
that's a minor point. Thanks!

OK, and I also just made a small patch to emerge to make the rsync perms more
correct, as well as fixing a few problems over here with rsync.  Now, rsync
perms should be perfect too.

Are you using "emerge rsync"?  If so, this is a known issue and Dan is
looking into it...
