Have rpm default to %defattr(-,root,root,-) in %files section(s). It's the
right thing for most packages so it's really just noise in 90% of the
specs, it's an endless source of silly packaging mistakes (forgetting to
add it when splitting off a subpackage etc) and those who need special
permissions can set them with their own %defattr/%attr use.
%defattr(0644,root,root,0755) would be less transparent but would force
packagers to actually check the perms they need
How is that a "but?" I'd consider it more of an "and." Shouldn't we be
paying attention to permissions? (Although knowing my luck I'd get burned
at least once by that change...)
