From a895b4103646a0cd84d82146758ad1c2e3f1ab54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Harkless Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 20:20:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. It passed an octal constant to atoi(), which interpreted it as decimal, resulting in directories with no user read or execute permissions, making nested directory creation fail. Also, when creating a nested directory, correct permissions were only set on the inner one. A second `make install' would always fail because the check for whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly. --- ChangeLog | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index b299879..ccfb331 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,14 @@ +Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless + + * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH.
