Details

Description:
atool uses hardcoded permission when creating new directories. This introduces problems for use-cases of multiple users on a system trying to handle files on shared volumes.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
0.39.0-7
* link to upstream bug report, if any
Upstream is basically dead so here's a fork with the issue fixed. https://github.com/z3ntu/atool/issues/1

Steps to reproduce:
* have a shared volume with setfact configured to force all new files be accessible to a `group`
* user_a and user_b belong to the same `group`
* user_a aunpacks an archive into shared volume creating new directory
* user_b can't do anything with that directory because atool applies hard-coded permission (700) to new directories

Proposed solutions:
( since upstream author email address bounces )
* switch to a maintained fork
* or create new fork to maintain
This task depends upon
