[hello] hello-2.7 protection problem

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

There is a protection problem on one script in the hello-2.7 distribution:

        % tar tvfz ~/hello-2.7.tar.gz | grep install
        -rw-rw-rw-  1 karl     wheel        13998 Mar 22  2011 hello-2.7/build-aux/install-sh
        -rwxrwxrwx  1 karl     wheel         3538 Apr  5  2010 hello-2.7/build-aux/mkinstalldirs

The first of those needs execute permission.

I got this during a "make install" on OpenBSD 4.9 x86:

        /bin/sh: ../build-aux/install-sh: cannot execute - Permission denied
        installing bg.gmo as /usr/local/share/locale/bg/LC_MESSAGES/hello.mo
        /bin/sh: ../build-aux/install-sh: cannot execute - Permission denied
        installing ca.gmo as /usr/local/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/hello.mo
        ... many more

I then did

        % chmod a+x build-aux/install-sh
        % make install

and everything went normally.

Thanks Nelson.  I think I may have fixed that some time ago, but I'm not
sure, and hello development has been moved to a different vc in the
meantime anyway.

Another thing: mkinstalldirs is no longer needed.

Reuben, are you still interested in hello?  Can you check on these things?

Thanks,
Karl

Absolutely, I have this in my inbox awaiting my attention.

I've had a look. I agree that mkinstalldirs can be removed, so I've
removed it. If I run make dist, I get an install-sh with the execute
permission set.
