2022-08-23install modes should not apply sticky bit to filesEli Schwartz
This is generally a bad idea, e.g. it causes OSError on freebsd. It also gets ignored by solaris and thus causes unittest failures. The proper solution is to simply reject any attempt to set this, and log a warning. The install_emptydir function does apply the mode as well, and since it is a directory it actually does something. This is the only place where we don't reset the mode. Although install_subdir also installs directories, and in theory it could set the mode as well, that would be a new feature. Also it doesn't provide much granularity and has mixed semantics with files. Better to let people use install_emptydir + install_subdir. Fixes #5902
2022-08-18minstall: do not trample install_mode by rpath fixerEli Schwartz
install_mode can include the setuid bit, which has the special property (mentioned in the set_mode logic for minstall itself) of needing to come last, because it "will get wiped by chmod" (or at least chown). In fact, it's not just chown that wipes setuid, but other changes as well, such as the file contents. This is not an issue for install_data / custom_target, but for compiled outputs, we run depfixer to handle rpaths. This may or may not cause edits to the binary, depending on whether we have a build rpath to wipe, or an install rpath to add. (We also may run `strip`, but that external program already has its own mode restoration logic.) Fix this by switching the order of operations around, so that setting the permissions happens last. Fixes https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/38682
