Subject: | [PATCH] Install libraries with executable bit set |

Hello.
When building RPMs for BIND, the rpm generates automatically
"requires" and "provides" for the package, to be able to solve
dependencies. In Fedora and RHEL we ship BIND libraries in
a separate package (to be able to reuse it with ISC DHCP).
RPM generates the "provides" for the package shipping libraries
only if libraries are executable in the buildroot.
Currently libraries are installed as DATA and therefore not
executable when installed.
We have a downstream patch in Fedora and RHEL that makes
libraries to be installed as PROGRAM, and therefore executable.
I think it would be beneficial to merge the patch into the
BIND's repo.
Thank you.
Regards,
