Details

Description:

The standard "make install" included upstream for dhcpcd doesn't set permissions to be user writable by default. This prevents some packaging features of makepkg from working (e.g. stripping debug symbols). Attached patch explicitly includes the install permissions and fixes the issue.

Steps to reproduce:

Run makepkg for dhcpcd with "strip" and "debug" set. No debugging package is made.

Not that this is the biggest deal in the world considering the package size, but, these files are not getting stripped (which makepkg is supposed to do according to our standard makepkg.conf).

And sure, this would also mean if/when we start shipping official debug packages, dhcpcd would not be able to include splitdebug packages.
