Comment:
OK, `Distribution/Compat/CopyFile.hs` has
{{{
setFileOrdinary, setFileExecutable :: FilePath -> IO ()
#ifndef mingw32_HOST_OS
setFileOrdinary path = setFileMode path 0o644 -- file perms -rw-r--r--
setFileExecutable path = setFileMode path 0o755 -- file perms -rwxr-xr-x
}}}
so I think the Cabal's `createDirectoryIfMissingVerbose` needs to do
something similar. But note that when making parent directories too, it'll
need to set perms on all the parent directories it creates as well; i.e.
it needs to reimplement createDirectoryIfMissing - or better, propose a
new `directory` function that takes a file mode (hmm, need to think about
what happens on Windows, though. Maybe it would need to be a `unix`
function instead?).
Duncan, this is in Cabal-land, so assigning to you.
