3.0.0 File permissions issue

[nedcampion]

Hi there.

I just wanted to let you know that the 3.0.0 gem has some file permissions issues. All the files inside of the 3.0.0 gem have 600 permissions. This means that if you have an environment that installs the gems as one user and then runs your application as another the application won't be able to load the gem. This issue can also be tough to see coming too because people normally only develop locally with one user so it wouldn't be encountered until a deployment that uses two users.

We just got hit by this during a deployment. This is not an issue with the 2.2.2 gem.

Love the gem, very handy, thank you.

@nedcampion thanks for this. Wouldn't have caught this myself.

@nedcampion what you listed there -- is that the installed gem? In the directory where I work on the gem, the permissions are 644. Could it be that rubygems is setting the permissions to 600 when you install it?

Hey @ramontayag, sorry for the delay.

If you look at a gem directory where gem has installed 3.0.0 you'll see what I'm talking about, but I don't think it's gem that is doing this. I think the hosted version of your 3.0.0 gem is the source of the issue. You can confirm this by downloading the gem directory from ruby gems:
