jh_exec strangeness : doing chmod -x?

2018-10-09 Thread Alexandre Rossi
Hi, I'm not familiar with perl but the rewrite[1] of jh_exec reads "chmod -x" while the tool is expected to make some jars executable. My debhelper log shows "chmod -x" while I would expect "chmod +x". [1] https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/javatools/commit/4d3e2123f5e747014a0d060416f7f3283e6c31
