Sorry for the short pre-message research time, but this seems bogus
enough to warrant it. I just built Chicken 3.4.0 from source in
/usr/local/src/chicken-3.4.0 on Debian GNU/Linux x86_64 ("sid"), and
at the end of the [make install] output, I see:
$ sudo make PLATFORM=linux PREFIX=/usr/local USE_HOST_PCRE=yes install
[...]
chmod a+rw chicken csi \
csc chicken-profile
chmod a+rw chicken-setup
Uh. Why is this making the executables world-writable? Who said I
wanted other UIDs on this machine to be able to write to those files?
It seems like a pretty bad idea to be doing that without user consent,
or at the very least a prominent notice!
A few searches on chicken.wiki.br, the Web, and the user manual turn
up nothing relevant about "world-writable" or "chmod a+rw", so here I
post.
Thanks for reporting this. I changed the invocation to use 0644 instead.
cheers,
