Re: making script executable?

[Sander Niemeijer]

I assume the script is part of your distribution and only needs to have 
executable permission there, right?
In order to give it these executable permissions when you build your 
distribution use a
---
dist-hook:
        chmod 755 your_script
---
in your top level Makefile.

Hope this helps.
