What actually surprises me is why the tarball itself contains such unreasonably permissive file modes. I guess that's what the original posting was about. Yet another question is how came that the upload script accepted it. Regards, Sergey

Ubuntu 12.04: $ umask 022 $ tar -xpzf /usr/local/src/Gnu/texinfo-5.2.tar.gz $ ls -ld texinfo-5.2 drwxrwxrwx 15 arnold arnold 4096 Sep 27 02:06 texinfo-5.2 "Surprise, surprise, surprise!" Besides, haven't the Autconf / Automake guys been making releases that change the default permissions on directories in tar balls to avoid this? (I admit I haven't followed in close detail.)
