Hi I have a doubt about the point 6.1, it says: "These scripts are the files preinst, postinst, prerm and postrm in the control area of the package. They must be proper executable files; if they are scripts (which is recommended), they must start with the usual #! convention. They should be readable and executable by anyone, and not world-writable."
From there, I understand that they should have 755 permissions, right? I fixed the packages I'm packaging as part of my NewMaintainer process when my sponsor noted it to me and also I filed a bug against gedit because it does not have the execution bits (#237091), but I was talking about it with another NewMaintainer friend because his package does not have the execution bit and after some research we saw that the .deb package have them with the execution bit, we think it's dpkg-build which fixes it. My question is... if dpkg-build "fixes" it automatically, should we change the execution bit inside debian/ directory? (lintian does not detect it as a policy violation and debhelper creates the templates without the execution bit) Cheers. -- Carlos Perelló Marín Debian GNU/Linux Sid (PowerPC) Linux Registered User #121232 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] || mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://carlos.pemas.net Valencia - Spain
