For the test suite to run, files in std_data must have certain permissions. I believe I filed a request to have this requirement be documented when closing out another bug. Part of the reason for the files in std_data are that we want to manipulate them and as a result, they need to allow certain operations. Also, I believe this is no longer an issue due to the switch to bzr as well.

Hi Patrick. Indeed after the switch to bzr, it works, because bzr always checks out files as writable, for example in 5.1: -rw-r--r-- 1 guilhem users 8616 2008-05-07 11:11 std_data/vchar.frm When we were using bk, it was a bug (so I'm moving it to "can't repeat"). It was not a bug in my setup, documentation wouldn't have fixed this in any way: it was the responsibility of the developer checking in a file into bk, that this file is checked in with the proper permissions, so that tests run ok. One couldn't expect all devs to run "chmod" by hand on test files in their bk tree before running the test... In other words, I was using bk in an allowed manner with which the checked -in file's permissions were incompatible. Now irrelevant due to the bzr switch.
