Re: sources file permissions

[Sergey Zhitomirsky]

Sorry , was too busy for two days , so 
just rechecked again  -  when I extract under user , all the files and 
directories
receive the user's  ownership - like you say , and directories are in 775 mode 
files 664  (my umask is 002) , so everything is perfect.

but when I extract under root - they all extracts with user 506 , group 506 
ownership ,
with mode 777 on directories and 664 for files ( meanwhile umask=027 !)
I think this is incorrect behaviour , this is unsecure , because when 
it is exctracted under public readable (755) directory by root : 
1) User 506 in the system can change everything in sources.
2) The mode "write for all" is unsecure - any user can delete files under 
parted directory
      and insert his own files. ( when parted directory is under public 
accessable  directory)

May be really "make dist" should chown everything to root.root , and remove 
"write for all" 
permissions both from files and directories.
It would be nice. May be you would forward this  to them ?

Best regards,
Sergey.

P.S. I don't have alias for tar ; 
#type tar 
tar is /bin/tar
#rpm -q tar
tar-1.13.17-3
