Looking at the file, the original name was yearistype.sh P= erhaps There is no need for suffixes on executable files, and an argument for not= =20 having them (the language the program happens to be implemented in is not=20 part of its interface - in particular, *installed* programs should not=20 have such suffixes). Some such files need to be run by the makefiles=20 explicitly to use the correct interpreter found by configure, in which=20 case there is no need for executable bits at all, but that doesn't apply=20 when the interpreter is /bin/sh (although maybe yearistype execution by=20 zic doesn't actually need the executable bit). So I don't see any problem= =20 with yearistype - it's appropriately executable, whether or not the=20 execute bit is actually needed, and not having a suffix is fine, whether=20 or not having one would also be OK. Locale data files indeed should not be marked executable. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
