Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-12-17 21:21:52 UTC 
Two files have spurious execute mode bits set:

   $ find gentoo-x86/licenses -type f -perm /u+x
   gentoo-x86/licenses/hp-proliant-essentials
   gentoo-x86/licenses/tsm

Looks like there's no way to reset these without cvs admin rights (or even root access to the repository?). For hp-proliant-essentials is was unsuccessfully tried in the past: <http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/licenses/hp-proliant-essentials?view=log>

Other than being incorrect, is this actually a problem somewhere?
Comment 2 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-12-18 07:15:05 UTC 
There must be a reason why repoman checks for it (see bug 55647). But this works only in directories where repoman commit is used.

As rsync preserves the mode, these files end up with the exec bit on users' systems.
Comment 3 Christian Ruppert (idl0r) gentoo-dev 2012-12-20 20:10:38 UTC 
Done.
