Bug #44647 Incorrect file permissions on some files in binary packaging
Submitted: 4 May 19:29 Modified: 11 Aug 0:44
Reporter: Björn Wiberg
Status: Closed
Category:Server: Packaging Severity:S3 (Non-critical)
Version:5.0.81 OS:Any (Linux, IBM AIX 5.3 32-bit Community Edition, binary packaging)
Assigned to: Daniel Fischer Target Version:
Tags: regression
Triage: Triaged: D4 (Minor)

Description:
The following files have incorrect file permissions after unpacking the
mysql-5.0.81-aix5.3-powerpc.tar.gz file:

sql-bench/README (has executable flags)
tests/grant.pl (missing executable flags)

(This was not so in mysql-5.0.77-aix5.2-powerpc.tar.gz; note the different aix5.2
architecture though.)

How to repeat:
Unpack mysql-5.0.81-aix5.3-powerpc.tar.gz and view file permissions with 'ls -l'.

Suggested fix:
chmod a-x sql-bench/README
chmod a+x tests/grant.pl

...for future packages/versions.
