Description wp mirror 2014-10-11 06:25:20 UTC
Dear Sir or Madam,

0) Context

DEB packages of `mediawiki' and many of its extensions, are prepared as part of the WP-MIRROR project (see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wp-mirror>). 

1) Lintian

During the build process, `lintian' performs a great number of sanity checks, including seeing if each file has file permissions appropriate to its file type.

When `lintian' sees a non-executable file with 755 permissions, rather than 644, `lintian' will throw a warning like:

W: wp-mirror-mediawiki-extensions: executable-not-elf-or-script usr/share/wp-mirror-mediawiki/extensions/MobileFrontend/includes/specials/SpecialMobileLanguages.php

2) Files which should have permissions set to 644

MobileFrontend/includes/specials/SpecialMobileLanguages.php
MobileFrontend/less/specials/images/userNormal.svg
MobileFrontend/tests/browser/Gemfile

3) Technical details

DEB standards version: 3.9.6
GIT branch: wmf/1.24wmf22

Sincerely Yours,
Kent
