[gentoo-dev] ebuild execute permissions: problem with cvs

[Dan Armak]

Hi all,

There's a problem (at least on my machine) with some ebuilds. They have some 
or all execute permissions set. Examples are skel.build, all but one of the 
sys-kernel/linux/linux-* ebuilds, and about 50 others. 

I tried disabling execute permissions on skel.build. cvs wouldn't recognize 
it as a new revision, so I also removed a dot from the end of a sentence in 
the file. When I commited and re-updated, it was executable again.

I don't know what's going on, but I think someone with cvs root access should 
handle this.
