Directory permission is not applied for deb packaging

[fh-yuxiao-zeng]

I'm creating a directory using the following build.gradle script:

buildDeb {
    ...

    directory '/var/lib/app/data', 0770, 'root', 'app'
}

So it's supposed to create the directory owned by root:app with mode 770. However, when I examine the generated bundle, the permission is the default 750 instead of 770.

Am I using the plugin in a wrong way, or is it an issue with the plugin?

I wonder if it's an issue with this method:

gradle-ospackage-plugin/src/main/groovy/com/netflix/gradle/plugins/deb/DebCopyAction.groovy

Lines 206 to 213 in 8253051

	protected void addDirectory(Directory directory) {
	def user = directory.user ? directory.user : task.user
	def permissionGroup = directory.permissionGroup ? directory.permissionGroup : task.permissionGroup
	dataProducers << new DataProducerPathTemplate(
	[directory.path] as String[], null, null,
	[ new PermMapper(-1, -1, user, permissionGroup,
	directory.permissions, -1, 0, null) ] as Mapper[])
	}

On Line 211, directory.permissions is passed as the 5th parameter to PermMapper. However, the 5th parameter of PermMapper is fileMode (see here). It should be passed to the 6th parameter (dirMode)?

I'm having the same problem and indeed swapping param 5 with 6 resolves the issue for me.
