Created attachment 91860 [details] A patch to preserve mode

I think it's worth pointing out that the user and group aren't preserved either, though that's probably harder to fix.
*** Bug 112710 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This problem also occurs with the unix2dos program. I also noticed that it will sometimes create temporary files in /roots directory which seems like some strange activity for this kind of application?

Thanks, added fix to dos2unix-3.1-20 in rawhide.

Looks like this bug is not fixed for new file created using -n option -rw-r--r-- 1 xyz dvl 25 Jul 12 12:37 test.txt unix2dos -n test.txt test2.txt -rw------- 1 xyz dvl 32 Jul 12 12:39 test2.txt Read permission for other and group is missing for new file test2.
I think this is a separate problem: when creating a new file it ought to set the initial permissions to 0666 and let the kernel umask mask off the inappropriate bits. Please file a new bug report.
