Too many files are marked executable

[sdmaclea]

Too many files are marked executable. (while I've only looked at the osx-arm64 build, I would guess this is a general problem.

% find ../dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-alpha.1.20625.2-osx-arm64 -perm +111 -type f | wc -l   
     498

The reasonable set of executable binaries would be these. (apphost and singlefilehost templates are debatable).

We are marking dll, xml, dylib, txt, h and a extensions executable. None of these represent executable programs.

This issue probably belongs in another repo (arcade?), but symptoms cross dependent repos

@dagood to take a look.

[dagood]

I checked an apphost tar.gz output from a dotnet/runtime daily build and the problem isn't there in the original artifact. (Except for libnethost.dylib.) dotnet-apphost-pack-6.0.0-alpha.1.21056.6-osx-arm64.tar.gz:

vs. dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-alpha.1.21056.8-osx-arm64.tar.gz from dotnet/installer readme:

This target looks like it's doing this intentionally:

https://github.com/dotnet/installer/blob/01930deb2a897ba302d89dacbe15a0622f2ecf0c/src/redist/targets/Crossgen.targets#L158-L164

/cc @NikolaMilosavljevic FYI

(apphost and singlefilehost templates are debatable).

For anyone curious what this means, there's a thread about it at https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/3843.

• I don't think most/any of the SDK files should be writable either.
• Execute permissions should be for all users too.

[sdmaclea]

@dagood Hmmm

<Exec Command="find $(SdkOutputDirectory) -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;" /> 

On second thought 644 is rw-r--r-- so that is not the correct root cause.

[dagood]

Oh... right. 😄 Well, the nupkgs (Microsoft.NETCore.App.Host.osx-arm64) don't persist permission bits and NuGet restore extracts them as 744, which matches. I guess the SDK layout uses the nupkgs, not the tar.gzs.

[sdmaclea]

I did look at the preview1 installer. The dlls are not marked executable. The dylibs are though. Per @janvorli, XCode marks dylibs as executable by default and we have just left them as executable.

I di see that when we published --self-contained the sdk installed the dlls as executable though.

[marcpopMSFT]

Did this end up getting fixed in 6.0.100 and can be closed? Reactivate if not.

[dagood]

This hasn't changed. Here's a fresh screenshot of dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-osx-arm64.tar.gz packs\Microsoft.NETCore.App.Host.osx-arm64\6.0.0\runtimes\osx-arm64\native\:

@marcpopMSFT this is still a thing - the latest Linux binaries (8.0.300) have the executable bit marked on so many unnecessary files. When I extracted the tarball every file and directory in it had rwx permissions for user, group, and other.
