mode 755 recommended for distribution tarballs

Item posted by Karl Berry <karl> on Sat 12 Dec 2009 12:11:16 AM UTC.

Following CVE-2009-4029, we now recommend ensuring that distribution tarballs are created with mode 755, not 777.  The latest releases of automake (1.11.1 and 1.10.3) implement this.
