Re: teacup/teapot install question

IIRC at least your 'umask' should play into this. Otherwise
I simply 'file
copy/rename'. This will not touch the permissions IIRC.
Download by http,
but into a variable, and then a plain Tcl 'open' on a temp
file. So, best I
can say 'Tcl dfaults + umask'.

Regarding files coming in a .zip archive ... I am also doing
a plain open
before writing (The zip is decoded with Tcl, not via an
external unzip or
like).

I will have to source dive to see if I do 'file attributes'
actions on them.
I may, but I do not really remember.

Aha ..

	lib/repository/repo_localma.tcl:798:        file
attributes
$path -permissions ugo+x
	lib/repository/repo_localma.tcl:875:            file
attributes
$f -permissions ugo+x

First is in Store/tm ... In case the modules is a shared lib
with attached
vfs. Second is in Store/zip, for all files underneath, in
case they are
shared libs.

Seems that I may have to add ugo+r as well.

Yes, from the permissions that is the case.

Hm.

rw-r--r-- permission.

Images ? Other supporting files ?

Note that I am not claiming that any of these are wrong -
the permission
looks fine to me. It was more confusing to see files with
the execute
bit on that one would never execute...

It seems to me that it would be most beneficial for teacup
to set the
permissions on the files it is installing so that, by
default, the
permissions would be rw-r-r- (except, perhaps, for a type
of
application, where the default might be rwxr-xr-x), and then
let the
user's umask alone so that if they so chose, they could turn
off the
group and/or other permissions.
