Package: dput Version: 1.0.3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Today I spent some time debugging why upload to my private server get
0644 permissions, no matter how I change permissions of built packages
and no matter how I tweak umask on both sending and receiving hosts.
Problem is following code (scp.py:53)
if change_mode:
fix_command = ['ssh']
for anopt in ssh_config_options:
fix_command += ['-o', anopt]
fix_command += [
'%s%s' % (login_spec, fqdn), 'chmod', '0644'
] + files_to_fix
if debug:
sys.stdout.write("D: Fixing some permissions\n")
sys.stdout.write("D: %s\n" % fix_command)
exit_status = dputhelper.check_call(fix_command)
if exit_status != dputhelper.EXIT_STATUS_SUCCESS:
sys.stdout.write("Error while fixing permissions.\n")
sys.exit(1)
Please, make this behavior optional. It is not documented (or I failed
spectacularly at finding documentation), causes major headache when I
need files to have another (664) permissions and makes `dput` report
error, if remote host allows scp/rsync execution, but not arbitrary
commands.
