From "rlog xinstall.c" in /mit/netbsd/src/usr.bin/xinstall":
revision 1.2
date: 1995/05/10 02:39:31; author: ghudson; state: Exp; lines: +4 -4
Modifications for AFS: close file and then call chown(), chmod(),
chflags() instead of using fchown(), fchmod(), fchflags() and then
closing. AFS fails to store the file if you chmod() u-w before
closing.
Incidentally, the list2sh.awk change isn't really necessary in the
NetBSD distribution, since all of the floppy images are created from
scratch. I made the list2sh.awk change because the Makefile I use in
/mit/netbsd/src/distrib/i386/server doesn't nuke the server directory
before copying files to it.
