Mark Hatle did the historical research into why this was so, and found that it originally was via debian import, and then it morphed over time: <fray> +# chown -R root:root ${D} <fray> +# cd ${D} && chown root:src usr/src <fray> +# cd ${D} && chown root:staff var/local <fray> +# cd ${D} && chown root:staff home <fray> + cd ${D} && chmod 755 `find . -type d` <fray> + cd ${D} && chmod 1777 `cat ${S}/debian/1777-dirs` <fray> + cd ${D} && chmod 2775 `cat ${S}/debian/2775-dirs` <fray> that was the original code <fray> so THAT is why they're 2775.. fray> they were originall 'src' and 'staff'.. which has gotten lost sometime in the last 10 years <fray> AND the origin: <fray> commit b45c9ed40bb4f893f99127a21776aef3ae888ad7 <fray> Author: Chris Larson <clarson@kergoth.com> <fray> Date: Tue Sep 30 16:30:41 2003 +0000 <fray> Add base-files 3.0.10 (from debian). <fray> thats where the brain damaged started ...
