| sidi | Rethorical question: there's no way to know, looking at the contents of a .deb package, which files will be given the executable flag once the package is installed? I have to actually install the package and manually check the files' permissions, correct? | 12:59 |
| rbasak | sidi: know for certain, or just get an idea? Most files shipped in debs already have their executable bits set. But it is in theory possible for a package to set or remove the bits in a package postinst. | 13:00 |
| rbasak | That would be an odd thing to do in most cases though. | 13:00 |
| rbasak | "set" as in "decided", not "set to 1". | 13:01 |
| mitya57 | sidi, use dpkg -c foo.deb | 13:01 |
| mitya57 | It will show the files permissions | 13:01 |
| sidi | (damn, pressing Ctrl+W to erase a word in Xchat does not work as expected) | 13:01 |
| mitya57 | <mitya57> sidi, use dpkg -c foo.deb | 13:02 |
| mitya57 | <mitya57> It will show the files permissions | 13:02 |
| sidi | rbasak, sorry i missed your last message | 13:02 |

| sidi | thanks | 13:02 |

| rbasak | (change things int he package postinst) | 13:02 |
| sidi | mitya57, rbasak so i can just download all the debs and grep on top of dpkg -c, that'd work for me I believe | 13:03 |
| sidi | rbasak, i'll gladly ignore postinst changes if that's not the usual method for setting permissions. i can fix my list of executables later on for individual packages | 13:04 |
| rbasak | Yep, that should give you a pretty good view. There are probably a few edge cases where files on an installed system don't end up with the same permissions as shipped in the package, but that is probably fairly rare. | 13:04 |
| sidi | I mainly want to avoid manually doing it for tens of thousands of packages :-) that should be fine | 13:06 |
