#1492 added support for e.g. --chmod=744 during a COPY command. Here is the original issue for supporting octal notation moby/moby#34819. However, in many situations this is insufficient.
For example, g=u is a way to chmod so that the group gets the same permissions as the user like so: chmod -R g=u dir. This would equal:
The usefulness of alpha syntax usually comes from the capital X permission, which means "executable only if the file was previously executable or if it is a directory."
This is because a recursive COPY with --chmod=644 would make all directories non-executable, meaning non-traversable; while a --chmod=755 would make all files executable. Both are inappropriate therefore unuseable 99% of the time.
A recursive COPY with --chmod=u=rwX,go=rX (capital Xes) would set directories to 755 and files to 644, unless a given file already had the executable bit in the source filesystem, in which case it would get 755.
It would be very nice if this support could be added!
