![]() After installing Nix, I found that all the files and directories initially copied into the store were writable, with mode 644 or 755: drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 /nix/store/ddmmzn4ggz1f66lwxjy64n89864yj9w9-nix-2.3.3 The reason is that that's how they were in the unpacked tarball, and the install-multi-user script used `rsync -p` without doing anything else to affect the permissions. The plain `install` script for a single-user install takes care to do a `chmod -R a-w` on each store path copied. We could do the same here with one more command; or we can pass `--chmod` to rsync, to have it write the files with the desired modes in the first place. Tested the new `rsync` command on both a Linux machine with a reasonably-modern rsync (3.1.3) and a Mac with its default, ancient, rsync 2.6.9, and it works as expected on both. Thankfully the latter is just new enough to have `--chmod`, which dates to rsync 2.6.7. |
