I think we need to start with the assumption that the permissions we have
in the zip are the way they are for a reason and evaluate possible changes
based on discussion here of each type of change. Maybe the RPM settings are
better, maybe they are not. Or maybe they are better but the improvement is
not worth the disruption a change may cause to our end users, who may rely
on the current zip settings. Or maybe what we have in the zip is clearly
wrong and doesn't follow our own intent. I expect we'll probably see a
little of each category, although hopefully some changes for WF 11 removed
the "clearly wrong and doesn't follow our intent" cases. :)

Hi,
As reported on JBEAP-12374[1], there is some discrepancies between the ZIP
file we provided for Widlfy/EAP and the RPM generate. Most of those
discrepancies - or the most relevant ones, are some fine tuning performed
on the (POSIX) privileges (things such as removing the write privilege for
member of the same group as the owner of the file).
I've looked into this and because those files are produced by our own
Maven plugin (as part of wildfly-build-tools), we can not simply modify the
assembly.xml. Which actually is probably for the best, as it would made the
assembly file quite cumbersome.
Anyhow, I've worked on a proposal[2] for the wildfly-build-tools, but when
I reported the problem on WFLY-9574[3], Brian suggested I started a
discussion here. So does anyone have a (strong) opinion about this issue
and/or how to resolve it ? :)
(For the record, I do think it is best to fix the privileges to follow
what the RPM does for us for now, but if you feel this issue should not be
addressed, and dev- the issue, I'm certainly not opposed to it either).
