It seems like GNU install ignores umask. Consider the following scenario:

umask 0022
touch file1
install file1 file2 --mode=+w

On GNU, file2 has permissions --w--w--w- while on uutils it has permissions --w-------.

@akretz akretz force-pushed the install_ignore_umask branch from bed60e8 to 376b88a Compare November 12, 2025 23:30

GNU testsuite comparison:

Skipping an intermittent issue tests/misc/tee (passes in this run but fails in the 'main' branch)
Skipping an intermittent issue tests/tail/overlay-headers (passes in this run but fails in the 'main' branch)
