cmake find_package fails due to too restrictive permissions of /usr/local/lib64/cmake directory about nng HOT 4 CLOSED

Important note: I ran the installation inside a docker container where umask was 0027 which is a more restrictive mask then the host's 0022. And I think this is the main cause.

Sounds plausible. If you install things with insufficient permission to allow others to read them, then it won't be much surprise when they fail because they can't read them.

It isn't clear to me that there is anything really for me to do here.

The relevant rules are:

# Install the header files.
install(DIRECTORY ../include/nng
        DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR}
        COMPONENT Headers)

I suppose I could add the FILE_PERMISSIONS and DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS attributes to those command lines instead of relying on the default, but I'm not sure that's a great idea.

I honestly think if you use a very strict umask (like 027), then you probably want that umask to be honored. If that means that stuff breaks for stuff you installed for others (for example while operating in a root account) -- perhaps the umask setting is contra-indicated?

Put another way, I don't feel comfortable changing (or overriding) a umask that a user may have set here.

I'm closing this as "won't fix" for now.
