Hello!
At this institute we have groups for software installation, so the
software should be writable for this group and not only for the
installing person.
But there is no option to change the default permissions, as set via
configure and Makefile.in generated by automake.
So we have to change all group permissions manually afterwards, but it
is not possible to be sure about all installed files.
There are two things, we would like to have:
a target, that writes all installed files to a logfile
and an option, which sets the permissions to what we want.
It is not possible to set umask, just because this default permission
mask is overwritten by install.
Best reguards,
Achim
