Hi,
We use Py2App to distribute SpiderOak. We're getting complaints from
users that when they install the product from an administrator account
(which they must do to write to /Applications), they can't run the
product from other accounts.
Examination shows that the top level .app directory has access mode 755
$ ls -ld /Applications/SpiderOak.app/
drwxr-xr-x 3 dougfort admin 102 Mar 17 10:50 /Applications/SpiderOak.app/
However, lower level directories have access mode 700
$ ls -ld /Applications/SpiderOak.app/Contents/
drwx------ 7 dougfort admin 238 Mar 17 10:50
/Applications/SpiderOak.app/Contents/
When I run chmod -R 755 /Applications/SpiderOak.app/ I can run from
the other users.
Is there a way we can persuade Py2App, and/or setup to set these access modes?
