I know you and Ed (and Marvin) have been round the block on this, but if you'll allow an oldie to sum up: Makefiles are not normally executables, in fact they aren't normally Shell scripts. Therefore they don't need to have the +x attribute. It's easy to list the Makefiles on your system and check this: ls -l $(locate -b -i '\Makefile') poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
