Description

System Patches doesn't handle 'new file mode' lines in a git diff, for example:

diff --git a/usr/local/sbin/ppp-ipv6 b/usr/local/sbin/ppp-ipv6
new file mode 100755
index 0000000..a05a4c2
--- /dev/null
+++ b/usr/local/sbin/ppp-ipv6
@@ -0,0 +1,123 @@
[snipped]

A command line chmod 755 was required to make the new script executable.

Depending on your point of view, this is either a bug or a feature request.

  • Status changed from New to Needs Patch

The package only invokes the patch utility in FreeBSD using the patch contents. It does not parse the patch itself. So if the permissions are not set, it's a deficiency in patch(1) on FreeBSD and needs to be investigated there.
