Hello there,

I'm using kiln to build my capsule. I discovered my builded cgi-bin/
scripts loose their executable permission in the process.

Is is something expected ? Is it known ?

Thanks a lot,
Staceee

This is because all files in the static/ directory are copied to the
public directory with default permissions. I'm open to copying the
permission bits over as well.

Note that the master version of kiln has a few breaking changes, so you
might want to stick with manually copying for now until it is
stabilized.

Yeah that could be nice if static files keep their existing permissions.
I think that default perms are good for the generated content.

I just have a look at recents commits and that feels nice. Some
confusing config has been simplified and are now more explicit.

I'll adapt my capsule when this will be released np :D Btw, the new
tutorial website looks really nice. I wish I had this when I firstly
configured kiln for my capsule xD Trying desesperatly to mimic your own.
