'install' will install files with permissions set to '0755' if the
permissions are not specified on the command line. Having the execute
bits set on non-executable content is not desireable. Specify mode
0644 for non-executable content as well as specify mode 0755 for
executable content (in case the defaults change or are different on
different systems). Also tell 'install' to preserve timestamps.
Thank you. I updated the patch to install HTML files with explicit
permissions.
