So this is the sixth time or so I change permissions for http://dconf.org/2015/talks/zvibel.pdf manually. I make it world-readable, someone within a matter of hours it becomes world-unreadable.

Attributes and owner are fine on my github dir. We use rsync.

Does any other contributor update dconf.org and has the wrong attributes? Could there be something more odd at work?

Works for me too.

btw, reading the slides, seems like a great talk.  Looking forward to the official video. :)

It works fine for me too, though glancing around online about file permissions in github, I'm seeing really mixed messages on what happens with them. So, maybe there's some github-specific weirdness.

Or, git-specific weirdness rather. I'm so used to saying github that I sometimes end up saying it instead of git. :|

Though I suppose that there could be something weird going on with github too.

Why is this? AFAIK Git only allows 644 and 755 permissions for files (i.e. executable or not). I doubt Git is to blame here.

I don't know. As I said, searching for info on file permissions in git quickly turned up stuff that seemed contradictory with regards to whether git retained file permissions or not and how to deal with them. I didn't dig deeply.

Works for me.

A few things from the slide:

"Developing in D for over a year:

Getting	a huge productivity boost"

I second that. With D programming is not just a chore, it actually makes you want to do things. It's not the same for-loop all over again ;)

"We have a lot of library/utility functions we can donate"

Please do. Input/code/findings from people who use D in real life scenarios is priceless.

rsync is in the mix as well. Anyhow, for now (after I deleted and rsync'ed it again) the file seems to have stayed readable. -- Andrei
