Platform Details

Scenario:
When using the default resource and you use '/tmp' as the dest it'll change your /tmp directory permissions to sadtimes aka 0755.
Steps to Reproduce:
Use the default 'maven' resource with dest '/tmp'.
Expected Result:
The resource is downloaded.
Actual Result:
The resource is downloaded but also the dir that 'dest' is set to has its mode changed to 0755.
Happy to provide a patch, but a) wasn't sure if anyone else thinks this is something that should change and b) wanted feedback on possible solution. My thought is to:
- add a guard to the directory resource so it does nothing if it already exists
- make the mode a node attribute
I discovered this as well today. This causes issued for the nodes that I wish to manage via chef. To get around this, I changed the directory to download content from /tmp to /tmp/maven. This contained the mess and allowed me to continue to use /tmp for my other applications.
@JasonWThompson yep that's what I did as well. Wanted to see if there was an appetite for a patch or if folks actually like this behavior.
