[GHC] #11003: Suggested fix for incorrect directory permissions is wrong
#11003: Suggested fix for incorrect directory permissions is wrong -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.10.3 Component: GHCi | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Incorrect Unknown/Multiple | warning at compile-time Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- If the current directory is group- or world- writable, I get an error {{{ *** WARNING: /home/blahblah/src/yproj is writable by someone else, IGNORING! Suggested fix: execute 'chmod 644 /home/blahblah/src/yproj' }}} This is extremely bad advice, because `644 = rw-r--r--`, meaning the directory is not executable, so nothing it contains can be accessed, and a user who's insufficiently familiar with Unix permissions will be very confused. The message should instead suggest `755=rwxr-xr-x`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11003 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
