#21389: Customized umask setting produces wrong permissions on installed files on Snow Leopard -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: m@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.8.2 Component: base | Version: 1.8.0 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: snowleopard Port: | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by mdippery@…): Replying to [comment:16 mdippery@…]:
This problem also affects files in, e.g., `/opt/local/var/macports/receipts` and `/opt/local/var/macports/software`. My umask setting is 0022, and this means that files in these directories get installed with owner/group "root/admin", but is readable only by root. This means that commands like `port installed` and `port outdated` must be run in conjunction with `sudo`, which is kind of annoying (this wasn't the case on 10.4 and 10.5).
That is, my umask is 0077. Whoops. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21389#comment:17> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
