[Slackbuilds-users] apache-tomcat slackbuild silently changes /var/tmp permissions

[Sebastien BALLET]

Hello,

There's something else which I find troublesome in apache-tomcat.SlackBuild
at line #92-93 :

chmod -R 755 ${PKG}${TOMCAT_HOME}
chmod -R 775 ${PKG}${TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps

Note: TOMCAT_HOME=/var/lib/tomcat

I don't see any reason to set executable bit to all files in
/var/lib/tomcat, nor to set  all files in /var/lib/tomcat/webapps
read/write/executable for users in tomcat group. I think the option "-R" is
not required in both cases.
