[Slackbuilds-users] 12.1 SlackBuilds no longer have execute perms

[Phillip Warner]

I know it isn't a requirement, I know what's in the HowTo, and I know how to use chmod and sh.  Personally, I could care less whether or not the execute perms are there because if they aren't I just use sh.  The only reason I mentioned it is because there seemed to be some previous effort in getting them all to have execute perms in the 12.0 repo.  I thought the consistency was good, and it is simple to change the files to keep it.

I downloaded 80 SlackBuilds and about 1/2 of them I had to chmod +x

I don't think it is a requirement by the package builder to make it
executable although it does save the end user a few extra keystrokes.

Step 3 in the How To says "If necessary, make the script executable
with chmod and then run the script:"
