RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Files in documentation folder have 'loose' permissions:
    In the file /usr/share/doc/perl-devel-5.16.3/perl-example.stp , the permission is 0664. 0755 is expected or more restrictive

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
    perl-devel-5.16.3-294.el7_6.x86_64

This bug is caused by a 0002 umask on the build server. A simple fix is needed to the specification file:

 #copy the example script
-cp -a %{SOURCE5} .
+install -m 0644 %{SOURCE5} .

----

The build infrastructure change also affects RHEL-7.7.z builds and would produce a broken build. We need to correct the spec file there in order not to create regressions.

Actually this would not be regression: An affected perl-devel-5.16.3-294.el7_6.x86_64 has already been released:

$ rpm -qlvp perl-devel-5.16.3-294.el7_6.x86_64.rpm |grep stp
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     root                      576 čen 17  2013 /usr/share/doc/perl-devel-5.16.3/perl-example.stp
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root                      799 led  7  2019 /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/libperl5.16.3-64.stp

Thus the same malformed perl-devel-5.16.3-294.el7_6.1.x86_64.rpm won't be a regression:

$ rpm -qlvp perl-devel-5.16.3-294.el7_6.1.x86_64.rpm |grep stp
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     root                      576 čen 17  2013 /usr/share/doc/perl-devel-5.16.3/perl-example.stp
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root                      799 bře  2 15:21 /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/libperl5.16.3-64.stp
