Execute bit is _much_ more intuitive. When you run `ls` on /etc/profile.d/ you immediately see which files are disabled (default color) and enabled (green). It doesn't break anything. It involves adding %attr(755,root,root) before %{_sysconfdir}/profile.d/* in specs, but those specs are trivial to find[1]. Sticky bit is more like a hack and not many people will know (and expect!) it without reading /etc/profile. [2] Something like: find /some/repo -type f -name "*.spec" | xargs fgrep profile.d Basically: Mesa aaa_base cvs desktop-data-SuSE glib2 groff gtk2 krb5 mc opensp python tcsh texlive + some others is not that much. ----------------------------------------------------------- if test -d /etc/profile.d -a -z "$PROFILEREAD" ; then for s in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do - test -r $s -a ! -k $s && . $s + test -r $s -a -x $s && . $s done unset s fi ----------------------------------------------------------- -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
