Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #10813: Boost headers files incorrect permissions https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10813 <p> I recently updated Boost 1.57, I noticed that a few header files "parameter.hpp" and some of those in the "parameter" directory has permission 755 instead of normal 644. Why make these normal header files executable? </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10813 Trac 1.4.3 Marshall Clow Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:38:56 GMT owner set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10813#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10813#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> set to <span class="trac-author">Marshall Clow</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Marshall Clow Mon, 24 Nov 2014 17:07:01 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10813#comment:2 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10813#comment:2</guid> <description> <p> The easy answer is "because they're that way in git". </p> <p> However, they shouldn't be. </p> <p> BTW, it's not just parameter, but many libraries: </p> <blockquote> <p> asio, assign, bimap, chrono, concept_check, foreach, fusion, gil, graph, iostreams, lambda, mpl, msm, numeric, parameter, polygon, predef, ptr_container, python, test, thread, type_traits, typeof, variant and xpressive </p> </blockquote> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> <item> <dc:creator>viboes</dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 13 Feb 2015 18:31:57 GMT</pubDate> <title>component changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10813#comment:3 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10813#comment:3 <ul> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">None</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">parameter</span> </li> </ul> Ticket
