The
tar
package, in name of portability, doesn't preserve filepermissions when creating and unpacking archives. A sample package which
relies on permissions to be kept as they were packed with is
ghc-parser
which executes a bash script as part of its build process.Before this patch we'd get
but now the package builds fine.
