You haven't stated anything yet that sounds like an actual bug to
me.
What about the dangerous & broken complaint?
Which I don't yet understand, let alone agree with. Simply asserting
over and over that it's bad and dangerous doesn't help.
He's also right in that arbitrarily setting the execute bit apparently
serves no explainable purpose (otherwise I assume you'd have
provided an
explanation by now), so the onus of explaining why this is a desirable
behavior comes back to setuptools.
Did a decision ever get made here? I don't mean to be a nag, but this
is continuing to cause problems for me and my users. Just wanted to
make sure it doesn't get lost/forgotten.
This is why people have bug trackers y'know. ;-(
