No assumption should be made about umask when building and it should be set explicitly, probably to 0022. An example problem is that generated files in /usr/share/mime/ are made readable only by root if umask is set to a tighter value Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set umask to 0077 2. Build 3. Install Actual Results: Many mimetypes not found in KDE as files mentioned above cannot be read
Thank you for the bug report. As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists. If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.
I'd say that if you are building from source, you have responsibility to understand your build environment and set things accordingly. I have built KMM from source for many years, and never had a problem, but I've probably kept my umask at the default 0022. Do you know of any other build systems which explicitly change umask or file permissions?
