umask for built module is broken

[adrienthebo]

The umask used while running puppet module build is used in the tarball and can mean that the installed files are unreadable by the puppet user if installed by root. There should be some sort of rake task to ensure that the module is built with the right umask.

Do you have some sort of weird UMASK environment variable on your local machine during the tar process, or inherited from the parent directory?

[adrienthebo]

My umask is 0077 and the puppet module tool doesn't normalize permissions or the file owner, which is less than ideal. I have a new tool to ensure that permissions are sane on the module, I just need to do another release.

This was resolved with the release of 0.4.0.
