Re: [Exist-development] Confused about permissions and defaults for XQuery files

[Dan M. <dan...@gm...>]

I have also had a challenge using the new permission structure.  Although I
fully support Adam's efforts I have had to build "wrappers" for any function
that updated resources to fix the permissions.  The changing of permissions
also seems to occur when you use the new in-database subversion module.  So
the fix-permissions() function has to be run after every
subversion:commit().

I wonder if there is any way a configuration option be added so that the
user could specify what permission structure is used for new resources much
like the UNIX "umask" function.
