I guess this is due to the change to tempfile usage.

`mktemp` creates temp files with 0600. I wonder if we could use `chmod`’s `--reference` flag an point it at the PKGBUILD to get the same permissions.

That was my first thought as well, but the flag is GNU specific and doesn't exist anywhere else. Scraping the permissions off of the file also gets painful because stat(1) isn't portable. The simplest solution I can come up with is using cat to "copy" the file. This retains permissions, and there's already an exit trap to clean up afterwards.

Ah, not optimal but that sounds okay, yeah.
