Description Vladimir Berezhnoy 2009-03-04 05:57:52 UTC

Everytime the package is updated or reinstalled the executable bit gets removed from the cron file andthis breakes the updates.
Ideally the package should respect the state of executable bit on cron file if it already exists and warn if the file is installed as non-executable.
Other packages which install cron files always install them as executable (logwatch, logrotate, slocate, man)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/porticron
2. emerge porticron


Actual Results:  
# ls -l /etc/cron.daily/porticron
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 37 Мар  4 08:56 /etc/cron.daily/porticron


Expected Results:  
# ls -l /etc/cron.daily/porticron
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 37 Мар  4 08:41 /etc/cron.daily/porticron

The executable bits gets removed
