These are NOT the tarballs that will be released; rather, they are the first probe aiming to uncover whatever problems we are still unaware of (including problems with archives preparation)
<snip>
The first two archives does not give write permissions to the user (for the unarchived files).
That's intentional. After all, normally you shouldn't be modifying anything in the distribution. Or should you?
Maybe not for the files, but the directories definitely need +w, otherwise I can't write to them. (In other words, I can't even build now without changing the permissions of at least the directories because jam can't write to/create the build directories).
Permissions are -r--r--r-- for files and dr-xr-xr-x for directories. Should be -rw-r--r-- and drwxr-xr-x. At least it's not 777 like last time :D
Well, obviously we've worked on this :).
After the above gets fixed: Good job :) -- Tarjei
