Hi! I test and try a whole load of Go tools and libraries, and as a result, my ~go/pkg dir quickly grows. While I'd love some kind of automatic expiry for that cache, I am fine with just occasionally running rm-rf on that dir myself.
... except it doesn't work. For some unclear reason, some of those directories and files are created with readonly permissions: ``` $ rm -rf go/pkg rm: cannot remove 'go/pkg/mod/software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12@v0.2.0/.gitattributes': Permission denied rm: cannot remove 'go/pkg/mod/software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12@v0.2.0/.gitignore': Permission denied rm: cannot remove 'go/pkg/mod/software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12@v0.2.0/LICENSE': Permission denied rm: cannot remove 'go/pkg/mod/software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12@v0.2.0/README.md': Permission denied rm: cannot remove 'go/pkg/mod/software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12@v0.2.0/bmp-string.go': Permission denied rm: cannot remove 'go/pkg/mod/software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12@v0.2.0/bmp-string_test.go': Permission denied rm: cannot remove 'go/pkg/mod/software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12@v0.2.0/crypto.go': Permission denied rm: cannot remove 'go/pkg/mod/software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12@v0.2.0/crypto_test.go': Permission denied rm: cannot remove 'go/pkg/mod/software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12@v0.2.0/errors.go': Permission denied [... lots more elided ...] $ stat go/pkg/mod/software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12@v0.2.0/errors.go File: go/pkg/mod/software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12@v0.2.0/errors.go Size: 751 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 0,36 Inode: 7317588 Links: 1 Access: (0444/-r--r--r--) Uid: ( 1000/klausman) Gid: ( 1000/klausman) Access: 2024-04-04 11:04:37.367542592 +0200 Modify: 2024-04-04 11:04:37.367542592 +0200 Change: 2024-04-04 11:04:37.367542592 +0200 Birth: 2024-04-04 11:04:37.367542592 +0200 $ ``` Needless to say, this is annoying, and while I can 'fix' it by doing a find|xargs chmod, I'd rather the permissions weren't this restrictive in the first place. So I wonder why they look like that. Is it a umask issue? Or something in git's config? Or is Go at fault here?
