I am doing a very standard

wget
http://www.openbios.org/viewcvs/openbios-devel.tar.gz?root=OpenBIOS&view=tar

which is the latest snapshot file from development page

then

gunzip -c openbios-devel.tar.gz | tar xvf -

Again, something that works out-of-the-box for 99.9% of all open source
projects.

I did it again just now, and still, there is no "x" bit set on these files.

Here is what I can see in the tar file

# gunzip -c openbios-devel.tar.gz | tar tvf - | grep scripts
drwxr-xr-x   0/0        0 May  7 04:49 2006 openbios-devel/config/scripts/
-rw-r--r--   0/0      365 May  7 04:48 2006
openbios-devel/config/scripts/archname
-rw-r--r--   0/0      245 Apr 27 01:08 2006
openbios-devel/config/scripts/reldir
-rw-r--r--   0/0      267 May  7 04:49 2006
openbios-devel/config/scripts/switch-arch
# 

No "x" bits getting into the snapshot at all.

Regards

Jason
