This is to the cygwin maintainer of xfig. Whenever there is a new release and I update the doc files in /usr/share/doc/xfig, my backup program cannot read most of the file. This is because their permissions are 700, and the backup tool does not run as me (it wants SYSTEM access). 700 does not seem appropriate for doc files - maybe 644, or for executables 755? Perhaps in future releases this can be adjusted so I don't have tp go in and manually change the permissions. (It's not a big issue that the files don't back up, but the backup program stalls on them for a long time trying, so it needlessly slows down backups.) If anybody cares, the backup program is CrashPlan.
