Permissions

I seem to have a permissions issue that always originates from this projects cli.js file. Any chance you can shed light on this?

This is while I have group membership of http which has full g+w permissions on all folders. What would be something likely to cause this? Regeneration?
Btw, annoyed Node still advices one to run as root... shoot me ><
Humm. Not sure. Need to investigate. Thanks for the report

I noticed our other project does this too, here it was with gulp. Somehow npm / templates ignore group write bit with ACL on our Arch box. I guess I could do a setfacl to ensure when creating files it writes using the 'other' (www-data/http) group because it is that this folder is run both by a systemd service a nginx upstream under http and sometimes, I need to run it from my (sop) user.
It really shouldn't matter imho... but this might be just a npm thing.
Ah. I read npm changes ownership. Ugh. I guess this can be closed, thanks for the prompt reply though 👍
