GIMP 2.8.16 permissions incorrect
Last modified: 2016-03-01 22:25:31 UTC
The currently published version of GIMP (at http://www.gimp.org/downloads/) has incorrect permissions set on the GIMP binary. In general this won't cause issues for users manually copying the application bundle. However, when deploying via something like munki the lack of group execute causes issues. GIMP pulled from http://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gimp/v2.8/osx/gimp-2.8.16-x86_64.dmg md5 gimp-2.8.16-x86_64.dmg MD5 (gimp-2.8.16-x86_64.dmg) = 58e9843cbfd99eb07bf5204cfd9d913f Note the lack of group/everyone execute: ls -la /Volumes/GIMP\ 2.8.16/GIMP.app/Contents/MacOS/ |awk '{ print $1,$9 }' total drwxr-xr-x . drwxr-xr-x .. -rwxr--r-- GIMP -rwxr-xr-x GIMP-bin -rwxr-xr-x python Looking back at the 2.8.14 dmg this was set properly: ls -la /Volumes/Gimp-2.8.14/GIMP.app/Contents/MacOS/ |awk '{ print $1,$9 }' total drwxr-xr-x@ . drwxr-xr-x@ .. -rwxr-xr-x@ GIMP -rwxr-xr-x@ GIMP-bin -rwxr-xr-x@ python This is fairly trivial to fix in munki with a postinstall script but should probably be corrected moving forward.
