Issue #16871 has been updated by Joseph Mulloy.
Can there be a parameter to set a particular umask? Without the ability to override the umask the gems provider is practically useless. This makes it very difficult for me to use Puppet to bootstrap the install of the master since gems installs with a restrictive umask, which is ridiculous for a system wide gem install. We need a solution. ---------------------------------------- Bug #16871: gem package provider should reset permissions https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16871#change-91322 * Author: Tails developers * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: provider * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- If the user running `puppet apply` uses a restrictive umask (e.g. 0077), gems installed using the gem package provider will be unreadable for all users except root. rubygems author has [ruled this behaviour as a feature](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues/272), but in Puppet context I fail to see a reason why the gem package provider should behave differently than, for example, apt. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
