>Description:
The pyzor-0.4.0_1 (mail/pyzor) port installs its single doc with
read (and, unneccesarily, write) access only to root. It is 600,
but it should be 444.
It would be good to install files such as README and ChangeLog as
docs too.
Additionally, the pyzor(d) scrips are installed 711, however I
would expect 555 since they should not be writable and there is no
need to hide the code from users.
>How-To-Repeat:
# cd /usr/ports/mail/pyzor ; make && make install
[snip]
running install_scripts
copying build/scripts-2.2/pyzor -> /usr/local/bin
copying build/scripts-2.2/pyzord -> /usr/local/bin
changing mode of /usr/local/bin/pyzor to 711
changing mode of /usr/local/bin/pyzord to 711
running install_data
creating /usr/local/share/doc/pyzor
copying docs/usage.html -> /usr/local/share/doc/pyzor

===> Registering installation for pyzor-0.4.0_1

>Fix:
pyzor-0.4.0/INSTALL indicates the need for this permissions
change. AFAICT the "changing mode of ..." is part of the python
package
(${PREFIX}/lib/python2.2/distutils/command/install_scripts.py) and
relies on pyzor-0.4.0/setup.py, however with my knowledge of
Python (ie. diddly-squat) and quick insprection, it's not clear
what change to make or to where, but clearly the mechanism exists.
