Bin files get installed with the sudo users umask

[Giles Westwood]

installer.rb attempts to install bin files to a standard path with world execute permissions:-

    File.open bin_script_path, 'wb', 0755 do |file|
      file.print app_script_text(filename)
    end

However this still obeys the users umask so if it's a restrictive umask they won't have a world execute.

Specifically using the file chmod(755) method should set this after the file has been written.

I think I'm seeing this problem. My symptom is the same as
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514126
i.e. /var/lib/gems and /usr/local/bin/$gemname are created 700, so that no one but root can access them.

This is on 12.04.1.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
