Rpm sets a default umask 0022 on initialization since 4.4.2.3.
That seems to be Fedora >= 9. Good to hear that.
Yup, since Fedora >= 9.
And I can confirm it with F10!
That's one annoyance less. :)
Unremoved versioned directories after package removal is a minor issue.
The inability to RPM-verify unowned directories becomes minor if dirs
default to 0755.
Where are you seeing inaccessible unowned directories being created?
As I recall it, I could still reproduce it end of Nov 2008 in Rawhide, but
there's a small chance I was in a shell on F8 by mistake.
By Nov 2008 rpm certainly set a default umask, but it only sets it once at
initialization time, so any API user (python or otherwise) has a chance to
still change it to something else. I'm not aware of anything doing that
but possible, yes - or you were on F8 shell :) And sure the umask setting
could be pushed deep into the file processing mechanism to avoid API users
messing with it if absolutely necessary.
