Herve Boutemy commented on MASSEMBLY-941:
-----------------------------------------
ok, now I start to remember the compromises I had to do both for UID/GID and
file/dir permissions in tar archives in
https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-archiver/pull/121
UID/GID seems ok, nobody complains
but file/dir permission is not ok: IIRC, the issue I got is variation based on
user's umask on Unixes
= user/group/other
user permissions are ok, but group and other may differ based on umask
idea: instead of ignoring file permissions, perhaps we could store in the
archive the same permissions for group and other than user?
WDYT?
[~plamenttv] we had a small discussion on these file permissions in
https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-archiver/pull/121
> file permissions removed during assembly:single since 3.2.0
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MASSEMBLY-941
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-941
> Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: permissions
> Affects Versions: 3.2.0, 3.3.0
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
> Priority: Critical
>
> Since 3.2.0, existing file permissions seem to be ignored when creating a
> tarball assembly, and files stored in the assembly do not have their original
> file permissions preserved.
> Using version 3.1.1 of this plugin and earlier, when creating a tar.gz,
> existing file permissions are normally preserved. This is now broken in
> 3.2.0, unless the component descriptor explicitly sets the fileModes.
> This was discovered trying to prepare a release candidate for Apache Accumulo
> using the apache-23.pom parent POM's predefined `source-release-tar`
> descriptor using the `single` goal. We noticed that the resulting
> source-release tarball had stripped all the executable permissions from our
> scripts, instead of preserving them. This makes the resulting source release
> more difficult to build from source.
> A source-release assembly, and any other assembly that does not specify the
> file permissions explicitly, should preserve the existing file permissions,
> just as it used to with 3.1.1 and earlier.
