( See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2669 ) When I unpack linux sources (`tar xjvf linux-${KV}.tar.bz2`), I usually do that in /usr/src/ and do it as root the first time. Later (if I need to patch something, etc.) I cat copy this dir as a non-root user. I always use KBUILD_OUTPUT=/var/tmp/kernel-output/$(VERSION).$(PATCHLEVEL).$(SUBLEVEL)$(EXTRAVERSION) to build as non-root user. The problem is that several files are NOT world readable and this prevents non-root builds by using KBUILD_OUTPUT. And reading some Documentation as normal user (like Documentation/scsi/ChangeLog.megaraid) !!! For 2.6.7: # find /usr/src/linux-2.6.7 ! -perm -004 -exec ls -l {} \; -rw-r----- 1 500 500 9511 Jun 16 14:19 /usr/src/linux-2.6.7/drivers/char/drm/drm_irq.h -rw-r----- 1 500 500 13235 Jun 16 14:20 /usr/src/linux-2.6.7/drivers/char/agp/isoch.c -rw-r----- 1 500 500 17056 Jun 16 14:20 /usr/src/linux-2.6.7/drivers/input/joystick/grip_mp.c -rw-r----- 1 500 500 3106 Jun 16 14:19 /usr/src/linux-2.6.7/Documentation/networking/netif-msg.txt -rw-r----- 1 500 500 1593 Jun 16 14:20 /usr/src/linux-2.6.7/Documentation/scsi/ChangeLog.megaraid To fix your tree you can (safely?) use: find /usr/src/linux-2.6.7 ! -perm -004 -exec chmod o+r {} \; or for future: find /usr/src/linux-2.6.7 -type f ! -perm -004 -exec chmod o+r {} \; find /usr/src/linux-2.6.7 -type d ! -perm -005 -exec chmod o+rx {} \; No idea how exactly the tarball is build, but there can be a check proces like the above before making it final. There is clearly no reason why 5 out of 15655 (16629 with directories) are with such "weird" permissions. Is this such a pain to fix?
