TS-47496 Keep the executable flags in the distribution archives - #960
Merged
Conversation
Archive tasks are reproducible by default since Gradle 9, which packages every file with fixed permissions of 644 instead of taking them from the file system. The upgrade in 36.0.0 therefore stripped the executable flag from installer.sh and from the launchers and native binaries of the installer's Linux runtime image, so the profiler could not be installed from the zip without a chmod first. Only bin/convert kept its flag, because the application plugin sets the permissions of the bin directory explicitly rather than relying on the file system. The distribution archives now opt out of that part of reproducibility again via useFileSystemPermissions(); the fixed file order and timestamps stay in place, and permissions set explicitly still win. Comparing the rebuilt zip against 35.2.1, the last release built with Gradle 8, shows the same set of executables again, up to the JDK's own binaries changing between the two runtime versions. VerifyExecutablePermissions guards the entries that have to stay executable and runs as part of check. It is skipped on Windows, which has no executable flag to preserve; the released distribution is built on Linux. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
