File permissions of port py27-httplib2 appear incorrect

[NickFabry (Nick Fabry)]

A port (py27-errorhandler) that depended on py27-http2 failed to install. Looking up the failure log, the following line indicated a problem with the py27-http2 port:

:info:build IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/httplib2-0.7.6-py2.7.egg-info/top_level.txt'

it appeared that several files that form the py27-http2 port had perms of 640, rather than the typical 644, meaning that a non-root process couldn't read the files.

-rw-r-----    1 root  wheel     9B Sep 17 18:15 top_level.txt

I think these permissions are set upon port installation, hence I think this is a problem with the port.

I tried force uninstalling, cleaning, and reinstalling py27-http2 & py27-errorhandler, with the same results. A sudo chmod 644 to the /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/httplib2-0.7.6-py2.7.egg-info directory fixed the problems (i.e. sudo port install py27-errorhandler successfully completed).

This problem occurred on OS X 10.8.1, using Xcode 4.4.1 (4F1003), Macports 2.1.2, py27-httplib2 @2-0.7.6_0.

Thanks for contributing to Macports!

In the future, please Cc the port maintainer(s).

It appears this problem was introduced in r97824, which upgraded py-httplib2 from 2-0.7.5 to 2-0.7.6.

The permissions are incorrect in the 0.7.6 tarball itself. Has someone reported the issue to the httplib2 maintainers?

The attached patch fixes the issue in a temporary post-extract phase by setting the world-readable bit recursively on ${worksrcpath}. Is this safe and appropriate for this port?
