Docs of postgresql-python have bad permissions
Last modified: 2013-07-02 23:01:07 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040404 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: None of the documentation files in postgresql-python (and possibly other PostgreSQL packages?) are readable by ordinary users. I suggest that they all be readable (and that the contained 'tutorial' directory be executable) for "other", as well as user+group. Also, I suggest that the .py files in the 'tutorial' directory be non-executable, since the files are not meant to be run - only to be a source of inspiration, as far as I kan see. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.4.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install postgresql-python. 2. Go to /usr/share/doc/postgresql-python-7.4.2 and do a "ls -lR" Additional info:
It looks like the problem is unreasonably tight file permissions in the upstream PyGreSQL-3.4 package. The RPM installation is relabeling the files with root/root ownership but not changing the permissions. I'll see what I can do about this for the next release. I'm not sure about your suggestion that the .py files ought not be executable --- they are so labeled (at least some of 'em) in the upstream package, and I would assume that's intentional. I'll ask.
