#13348: texlive patches are executable
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Reporter: master at iaas.msu.ru | Owner: macports-dev at lists.macosforge.org
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Low | Milestone: Port Bugs
Component: ports | Version: 1.5.2
Keywords: TeX |

Dear Emmanuel,
there is no reason for patch files to have executable bit set,
but about 2/3 of them do have it turned on.
It may affect UNIX file managers, that treat such files like scripts -
default action is execute, other color in file list etc.
Sincerely, Michail
PS.
Is there any reason to prefer the port over installing TeXLive directly?
AFAIK TeXLive people are redoing their own package management for TeXLive
2008
and thus the existing port has little chance to serve as a basis for the
future one.
