Description wp mirror 2014-10-12 06:26:28 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/tests/browser/Gemfile

When `lintian' sees a shell script with 644 permissions, rather than 755, `lintian' will throw a warning like:

W: wp-mirror-mediawiki-extensions: script-not-executable usr/share/wp-mirror-mediawiki/includes/limit.sh

2) Files which should have permissions set to 644

resources/src/mediawiki.skinning/content.externallinks.css
tests/browser/Gemfile

3) Files which should have permissions set to 755

includes/limit.sh
includes/normal/UtfNormalTest2.php
maintenance/postgres/compare_schemas.pl
maintenance/postgres/mediawiki_mysql2postgres.pl
maintenance/storage/make-blobs

4) Technical details

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

Sincerely Yours,
Kent
