I don't think it's an OS issue TBH. I just build WildFly locally on Fedora 28 and in some cases have different permissions than either distribution. If anything I think we'd need to analyze the directory structure and choose the appropriate permissions rather than trying to match them to a distribution.

I do think it makes sense to have something consistent. Having the permissions depend on who's releasing seems a bit of an issue.

Hi all,

a while back, we've discussed the discrepancies in file rights between the zipfile produced for Wildfly and the one build to be embedded into a RPM (see issue JBEAP-12374[1] and WFLY-9574[2]). It turned out that the root reason for those discrepancies was due to the system being used for building - Wildfly being built on MacOS X and the EAP being built on Fedora. This means that, the default privileges attributed to some files, on MacOS X, differed to the one attributed on Fedora.

Working on the previously mentioned issues, I have already reduced the number of discrapencies. However, a few remains are described, in detail, on the new issue (JBEAP-12374). For each type of discrepancy, I have a proposal on how we should fix it.

The only thing I need now is agreement from a few core developer (or disagreement) so that I can implement (or not) those proposal (or alternatively, asked the RPM team to set those discrepancies to be "expected").

So if you have the time to take a look and say "ay" or "nay", it will be awesome :)
