Re: How to set file ownship and permission of deb

[Zengfa Gao <zfgao@yahoo.com>]

Hi, Akkerman:

For some reasons, it is not very good for me to do
chown and chmod for the files. I am looking to not
change the files permission, but package the file with
the permission I wanted. 

RPM allowed you to package the file with any
permission you want without change the temporary file
permission!

Thanks for your answer!
