[Solved] What permissions/user should I use for my package?

I'm attempting to port FruityWifi over to Arch for a distro I work on, see sig, and the PHP code needs to download and install files, so what permissions should I set for the package directory (/usr/share/FruityWifi, symlinked to /srv/http for apache)

Here is the tarball.

Could you explain why "the php code needs to download and install files"? You mean that after you created this package; when a user installs it that package will start downloading and installing even more files?
The default owner and permissions are fine (root/rw-r-r); if you want the webserver to write somewhere in a directory that is owned by your package choosing 'http' as owner (again, with default permissions) seems like the way to go.
