Custom files should keep their permissions

[e-minguez]

For some use cases, the users would like to add executable files or scripts via combustion. In order to do so, the custom/files folder is being used.
However, even if the files/scripts are there with an executable flag, EIB seems to remove it here https://github.com/suse-edge/edge-image-builder/blob/main/pkg/combustion/custom.go#L44C61-L44C86

The workaround is to add a script that does the chmod a+x or whatever is needed but it would be nice if it keeps the permissions as the original ones.

Files are copied as non-executable whereas scripts are copied as executables. Doesn't this account for the requirements?

[e-minguez]

Unfortunately no. Why does it need to change the original permissions? :) I want to be able to add an executable to my final system and in order to do it the only way right now is to drop it into the custom/files folder AND have a script on the custom/scripts that does a chmod...

Understood! We'll look into it.
