Description areeda 2010-11-01 22:02:11 UTC 
If I do a normal install (chmod +x netbeans-dev-...sh; ./netbeans-dev..; or sh netbeans-dev...) the files and directories installed in /usr/local are accessible only by user and group.

I can fix this with a umask 0002 before running the installer. I prefer root to have a umask of 0007 for most things.

Should this be the user's responsibility? If so perhaps I missed the instruction.

I would like it to be handled by the installer, but that's one man's opinion.
