Description:

Hello. /etc/profile.d/ files do not need to be installed as executable
since they are sourced (i.e. read) from /etc/profile and not executed.
It does not even make much sense to execute /etc/profile.d/ scripts
since they only set variables in their own environment and then do
nothing else.

It would be nice if core/gpm did not install gpm.sh as executable.

core/gawk, core/perl and many other packages use 644 which I also think
is the best set of permissions for /etc/profile.d/ files.

To solve this, you simply need to change this line of the PKGBUILD file
from:

install -D -m0755 ../gpm.sh "${pkgdir}/etc/profile.d/gpm.sh"

to:

install -D -m0644 ../gpm.sh "${pkgdir}/etc/profile.d/gpm.sh"

Cheers,

Additional info:
* package version of core/gpm: 1.20.7.r38.ge82d1a6-3

Steps to reproduce:
$ stat /etc/profile.d/gpm.sh
