It is executable now (Linus did a chmod). However I think it was wrong to do this. Because lots of people will lose that X bit (say, people who download and use patch-2.6.22.gz). But _some_ people will have their X bit set, so they will go write scripts which assume X permissions, only to find that those scripts break on other people's systems. So to force the lowest-common-denominator, we should have left X unset. Oh well. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
