Description Michael Elkins 2003-04-21 01:49:25 UTC

I just attempted to
 emerge xmahjongg
/usr/games was created with mode 750 (games.games)
thus normal users can not see /usr/games/bin where the binary was placed.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Start off with no /usr/games directory
2.  emerge xmahjongg
3.

Actual Results:  
/usr/games has mode 750

Expected Results:  
/usr/games should have mode 755 so that normal users can see the games in
/usr/games/bin, etc.

everything is the way it should be ... in other words, the behavior you see is *exactly* by design

read the message whenever you emerge a game ...

* Remember, in order to play games, you have to
* be in the 'games' group.
