Description Jim MacDonald 2006-03-29 08:09:07 UTC

only root can view the man page of sys-apps/paxctl becasue it has the wrong permissions:

ls -l /usr/share/man/man1/paxctl.1.gz
-rw-------  1 root root 1254 Mar 29 17:01 /usr/share/man/man1/paxctl.1.gz

This is due to the file permissions in the upstream tarball paxctl-0.3.tar.gz.

Fixed in CVS on 0.3-r1 (no rev bump) - give it time to reach the rsync servers, sync up then re-emerge.

it's a feature not a bug, proactive security or something (all files are go-rwx ;-). more seriously, i guess i should be using 'install' instead of 'cp', patches are welcome.
