Pacman and setuid - Does pacman ignore the bit on install?
The flag is still set in the makepkg pkg tree, but it seems to get lost when pacman does the actual install onto the system. Is this the expected behavior from pacman?
It's not really a big deal since I've just been using the install script to chmod the bit back, but I just wanted to check in case I missed something obvious.

Umm... Are you sure it's a good idea to make pacman setuid?

I think you might have misunderstood me (or maybe vice versa). I'm referring to setuid files being installed by pacman, not flagging pacman itself with setuid.
