#14017: "make install" with non-standard umask causes bad permission on package.cache -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: djf | Owner: bgamari Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.2.2 Component: Build System | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Type of failure: Installing GHC | Unknown/Multiple failed | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #13375, #13354, | Differential Rev(s): #13194 | Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): Actually, after looking the `umask` documentation more carefully I am even more confused. The mask is applied only to newly created files; this means that essential any file created during installation will need to `chmod` as well to ensure that the mode is set as expected in the event that the user has overridden umask. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14017#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
