Details

Summary and Info:
Makepkg should remove setgid from pkgdir before building. Otherwise, the flag will be carried over to subdirs and eventually into the package.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a directory with permissions 2755
2. Put a PKGBUILD in it (linuxigd from AUR in my case)
3. Build using makepkg
4. Observe directory permissions in resulting package
---- In the case of linuxigd, pkg/etc/rc.d and pkg/etc/conf.d will now have 2755 permissions
This task depends upon

I agree there is a problem, but disagree with the fix. Instead, we should ensure we create these directories explicitly with 0755 permissions.

Stating 0755 with chmod, install or otherwise won't clear setgid if it matches the user's effective group. man chmod

$ groups
wheel video audio users

$ ls -ld .
drwxr-sr-x 4 user users 4.0K Dec 17 00:03 .

$ umask 0022; install -dm0755 pkg src; ls -ld pkg src
drwxr-sr-x 2 user users 4.0K Dec 17 00:03 pkg
drwxr-sr-x 2 user users 4.0K Dec 17 00:03 src

$ chmod 0755 pkg src; ls -ld pkg src
drwxr-sr-x 2 user users 4.0K Dec 17 00:03 pkg
drwxr-sr-x 2 user users 4.0K Dec 17 00:04 src

So the fix is what he proposed:
$ chmod a=-s pkg src; ls -ld pkg src
drwxr-xr-x 2 user users 4.0K Dec 17 00:04 pkg
drwxr-xr-x 2 user users 4.0K Dec 17 00:04 src
