EACCESS on Linux - xdg-open does not have execute permission

[grinnery]

Installing the package with npm i opn -S (or directly from git repo) does not preserve executable attribute on xdg-open, resulting in EACCESS when opn-ing URLs.

See npm/npm#18324. Keeping this open until that is resolved.

Why are you even shipping your own version of xdg-open. Can't we delegate to /usr/bin/env xdg-open and use the system's version if present? That would also help constrain security probs. I imagine not everyone wants shell scripts installed by npm executing on their system.

Because not all systems has xdg-open. It's probably easier to track down issues by shipping a local version of it.

This is a very small bug fix release to fix a problem where permissions on installed binaries were being set incorrectly.
