this would be nicer docinto foo dodoc bar
nicer, but doesn't work see bug #15193
Actually, it isn't fixed, but I have the solution. The problem is that 0644 doesn't set the executable bit for the directories, so you cannot cd into the directories. That is why I originally tried to set to 755. Changing 0644 to 0755 lets a user cd into the directories, but then it lists all the regular files as executable... So we do `chmod 0644`, but then use find to `chmod +x` the directories. --- mplayer-0.92.ebuild.orig 2003-10-11 16:05:09.000000000 -0400 +++ mplayer-0.92.ebuild 2003-10-11 16:06:28.000000000 -0400 @@ -354,11 +354,13 @@ dodoc AUTHORS ChangeLog README # Install the documentation; DOCS is all mixed up not just html chmod 0644 ${S}/DOCS -R - cp -r ${S}/DOCS ${D}/usr/share/doc/${PF}/ || die + find ${S}/DOCS -type d -exec chmod +x {} \; + cp -r ${S}/DOCS ${D}/usr/share/doc/${PF} || die # Copy misc tools to documentation path, as they're not installed # directly chmod 0644 ${S}/TOOLS -R + find ${S}/TOOLS -type d -exec chmod +x {} \; cp -r ${S}/TOOLS ${D}/usr/share/doc/${PF} || die # Install the default Skin and Gnome menu entry
sorry, changed to 0755
Sorry, I guess I was not clear in my last comment. We want different permissions for regular files and for the directories. 0644 for regular files 0755 for directories The executable bit is needed for directories so users can CD into the directory. But we don't want to say that some random text files is an executable. So: chmod 0644 ${S}/DOCS -R find ${S}/DOCS -type d -exec chmod +x {} \; This sets everything to 0644, what we want for regular files. Then find changes the directories (-type d) to have the executable bit (chmod +x). The end result of this is 0644 for regular files and 0755 for the directories. Here's a patch file to add in the correct code, and also to update the DEPEND line so that we are sure `find` is present.

closing as fixed
