OK - sounds like you're the right person to ask a question that has been nagging me. Is there a proper way to get the execute bit set in the git tree on patches that contain scripts? I think patches produced by git have something that sets the file permissions? Is this something that can (or should) be hand-added to a non-git patch? (I use quilt). I put that blurb in the patch description about doing a 'chmod a+x', but that doesn't seem reliable. -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Linux Forum Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Corporation of America =============================
