All files on the packs should be world-readable, even if they are not
executable, so that they can be copied locally. This is especially
important if the packs are being served via NFS instead of RVD. For
instance, /urvd/ucb/logger is set to mode 750.
I propose that the following be done before releasing the packs:
chmod -R a+r .
The installation procedures should handle the permissions... they should
not rely on the packs having all the correct permissions otherwise we
may run into problems like the one mentioned above.
Comments?

PS: I know that in general things should not be sent to both athena-ws
and bugs, but this message has a bug-report (logger), suggestion, and a
proposal to rel-eng.
