Hi,
I was looking onto installed files by the libreoffice default install
method and noticed that they are not world writable.
This is caused by definition in bootstrap/scp2/inc/macros.inc around
line 94 where it says:
#define BIN_FILE_BODY \
UnixRights = 555
#define TXT_FILE_BODY \
UnixRights = 444
It would make much more sense to install files with perms for the owner
to write into them I would say so straight forward change to 755 and 644
is what I am thinking about.
The problem might be for installations where owner is not root and that
owner might want to manage the installation (things like Gentoo prefix).
I would say that write protection for owner is usually required only on
files where it is really really really important they are not altered
directly by user, stuff like /etc/sudoers and similar stuff.
Cheers
Tomas
