From: Paul Smith Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2022 04:04:11 +0000 (-0400) Subject: Sanitize tar file ownership, mode, and order X-Git-Tag: 4.3.90~21 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=896908180e7948cc1649982b24b64752a9c58daa;p=thirdparty%2Fmake.git Sanitize tar file ownership, mode, and order For reproducibility ensure all files in the dist tar file are owned by root, and sorted by name. Force the mode on all files to be writable by the owner and not writable by group or user, by default. Remove unnecessary execute permissions from build_w32.bat.
