Subject: [ptxdist] [PATCH v2 1/2] doc: ref_make_macros: make clear that permission should be four digits
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2020 12:59:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200819105909.21441-1-rhi@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200819105118.16294-1-rhi@pengutronix.de>

Three octal digits are not enough, we must also respect the
sticky/setuid/setgid bits. Even if these are mostly implied to be 0, we
should be explicit here. This should also help to prevent permission
clashes when more than one packages install the same directory.
