188655 - dist/sdk/mozilla-config.h is installed with perm=444

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Roland Mainz]

2003-01-06-08-trunk build with Sun Workshop 7 on Solaris 2.7/SPARC.
While removing the objdir for a full rebuild I noticed this minor nit:
dist/sdk/mozilla-config.h is installed with perm=444 - as the _only_ file with
this permission flag combination (/usr/bin/rm then bails-out with "rm:
2003-01-06-08-trunk/objdir_ws7_gtk/dist/sdk/mozilla-config.h: override
protection 444 (yes/no)?") in objdir/ - all other files are writeable by the
user.

Is that intentional ?

The mode setting was intentional as there was no reason for the headers to be
writable once it was installed.

OK, but why is this the only header with u-w ? All other header in dist/ are
writeable by the owner...

Because, afaik, that's one of the few headers that are not installed using one
of the common rulesets and this is the first time I've seen a complaint about
the header not being removable.  Even the solaris tinderboxes haven't complained.  

IMO, that's a bug in that version of solaris rm.  You don't have to be able to
write to the file to remove it.  You just have to be able to write to the directory.
