kind of a general fedora packaging question, so forgive me if this sounds silly -- i'm still getting back into rpm stuff after years with ubuntu. just noticed on my fully-updated f20 system that there are a few systemd service files under /usr/lib/systemd/system that are marked executable: $ find . -type f -name "*.service" -perm /0111 ./isdn.service ./pppoe-server.service ./wpa_supplicant.service ./capi.service $ sure enough: $ ls -l capi.service -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 184 Aug 3 2013 capi.service $ doesn't hurt, of course, just unnecessary. so being inherently curious, i popped over to the package git repo: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/isdn4k-utils.git/tree/ and took a look at the spec file to see what was happening: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/isdn4k-utils.git/tree/isdn4k-utils.spec and the relevant parts seem to be, first this at line 249: # install isdn startup script mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_libexecdir} install -m0755 %{SOURCE2} %{buildroot}%{_libexecdir}/isdn install -m0755 -d %{buildroot}%{_unitdir} install -m0644 %{SOURCE11} %{buildroot}%{_unitdir}/isdn.service install -m0644 %{SOURCE8} %{buildroot}%{_unitdir}/capi.service followed by this further down starting at line 299: %files %defattr(-,root,root,755) %dir /etc/isdn %dir /var/spool/vbox %dir /var/log/vbox %dir %{_datadir}/isdn %dir %{_libdir}/capi %verify(not md5 size mtime) %config(noreplace) /etc/isdn/* %verify(not md5 size mtime) %config(noreplace) /etc/ppp/ioptions %config(noreplace) /etc/ppp/peers/* %config(noreplace) /etc/capi.conf %config(noreplace) /etc/capi20.conf %if 0%{?fedora} > 13 || 0%{?rhel} > 6 %{_libdir}/udev/rules.d/40-isdn.rules %endif %{_libdir}/pppd %{_datadir}/isdn/*.dat %{_datadir}/isdn/dest.cdb %{_libdir}/*.so.* %{_libdir}/capi/*.so.* %defattr(755,root,root,755) <--- %{_sbindir}/avmcapictrl %{_sbindir}/hisaxctrl %{_sbindir}/icnctrl %{_sbindir}/isdnctrl %{_sbindir}/pcbitctl %{_libexecdir}/isdn %{_unitdir}/isdn.service <--- aha %{_unitdir}/capi.service <--- him, too ... snip ... based on what i see, it would *seem* to make more sense to move those two lines further down the spec file, after line 340: %defattr(644,root,root,755) %doc COPYING README isdnlog/README.* %doc isdnlog/tools/zone/de/01033/zred.dtag.bz2 %ghost %{_datadir}/isdn/zone-de-dtag.cdb ... snip ... does that make sense? as i said, not a big deal and certainly doesn't affect operation, just wanting to clarify that i'm reading the spec file correctly and understanding how it would have been written properly. and if i'm right, tempted to BZ it just cuz. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
