Package: debhelper
Version: 8.0.0
Severity: wishlist
dh_fixperms doesn't set sane permissions for image files (.png, .gif,
..jpeg, to name a few), cascading stylesheet files (.css) nor
JavaScript fragments (.js).
This could be useful while packaging web applications that provide this
kind of collateral material. I found myself having to write explicit
find statements in debian/rules to overcome this shortcoming of
dh_fixperms while packaging webgui.
A simple solution could be
# .. fix JavaScript fragments
complex_doit("find $tmp -type f",
"-perm -5 -name '*.js' $find_options -print0",
"2>/dev/null | xargs -0r chmod 644");
# .. fix CSS files
complex_doit("find $tmp -type f",
"-perm -5 -name '*.css' $find_options -print0",
"2>/dev/null | xargs -0r chmod 644");
# .. fix common webapp image file formats
complex_doit("find $tmp -type f",
"-perm -5 \( -name '*.png' -o -name '*.jpg' -o -name '*.gif' \)
$find_options -print0",
"2>/dev/null | xargs -0r chmod 644");
