Description:
This package installs an /etc/profile.d/ file ( mercurial.sh ) as
executable unnecessarily; /etc/profile.d/ files only need to be
readable since they are "sourced", not executed.

It would be nicer to install it with 644 permissions (as most other
packages do).

All that needs to change is this line of the PKGBUILD file from:

install -m755 "$srcdir/mercurial.profile" "$pkgdir/etc/profile.d/mercurial.sh"

to:
install -m644 "$srcdir/mercurial.profile" "$pkgdir/etc/profile.d/mercurial.sh"

Cheers,
