Hello!

Perhaps somebody knows how Poudriere works internally: I found that it
coerces my port to install (during `make install`) scripts with
permissions 0555. This breaks my post-installation hooks, where I am
assuming that I can actually write to files installed into staging.
Why is it doing this? Is there any good reason behind that?
So far, it appears to have caused problems only on one build, but I may
misinterpret the information on Freshports:
https://www.freshports.org/editors/sciteco/

Details and logs are in this Github ticket:
https://github.com/freebsd/poudriere/issues/1195

Best regards and merry chirstmas,
Robin

Forget what I wrote here.
`make package` installs as 0555 as well.
I fixed it by setting BINMODE=755 in the port's Makefile.
At least I hope this will be accepted by the committer. At least some
other ports do that as well.
