Bug#909540: tomcat8: ignores umask, sudden(?) regression

[Thorsten Glaser]

Philipp Niemann dixit:

>tomcat8 introduced a new configuration variable in
>/usr/share/tomcat8/bin/catalina.sh which can be used to set the umask.

Oxymoron detected: /usr is read-only, so it cannot be a configuration
variable.

>One could add UMASK as a variable to /etc/default/tomcat8, so that
>users are more likely to find the change and set the variable. I did
>that and it works for me:
>
>>From my /etc/default/tomcat8:
>> # Set the umask for tomcat, variable is used by catalina.sh
>> UMASK=0022

Oh, good to know.

>I think this is a wishlist bug rather then a regression.

If it worked before and works not now, it’s a regression;
that’s literally the definition of that word.
