Description Till Maas 2010-03-12 13:25:16 UTC
Description of problem:
From the upstream Makefile:

122 install -m 444 $(MAN_PAGES) $(MAN)
123 install -m 444 foremost.conf $(CONF)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
foremost-1.5.3-4.fc12

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install foremost
2. vim /etc/foremost.conf
  
Actual results:
vim warns about foremost.conf being read-only

Expected results:
vim should not warn me, there is no need for a config file to be read-only


Additional info:
the problem still exists in 1.5.7 and I also spotted that "install -p" is not use to preserve the timestamps of the manpage and sample config

Comment 3 Filipe Rosset 2010-04-05 18:52:02 UTC
I believe this is not a bug. This is default permission, see ls -la /etc/*.conf
I make a patch to change chmod 444 to 644
