When messing w/ default umask, you are on your own. I understand that modifying /etc/profile umask is unsupported. However, you don't think that having the files installed by vmware-workstation not have permissions consistant with root owner/vmware group is incorrect? Also, at the same time, making these files have reasonable permissions regardless of the default umask is not a huge modification to the install script (and the script already has gentoo specific touches). Certainly with other packages, the permissions/ownership are occasionally altered to fit the gentoo scheme. (games, cdrw, locate, etc). Evan Teran |
