Item14031: permission error on out-of-the-box publish

I am using Foswiki 2.0.3 with PublishPlugin 2.4.0,

I installed with all defaults and attempted to publish Main.WebHome with all defaults. It failed with a file creation error in directory /var/www/Foswiki-2.0.3/pub/publish/file. The permissions on the directory file were d---------.

The error was reported in /var/www/Foswiki-2.0.3/lib/Foswiki/Plugins/PublishPlugin/Backend/file.pm line 71.

On inspection I found that the code references Foswiki::cfg{RCS}{dirPermission} on line 34 and 70.

That config variable was not set in configure. Probably because I use the PlainFile Store. The variable {Store}{dirPermission} exists and is set to 0755.

I changed the references in line 34 and 70 to Foswiki::cfg{Store}{dirPermission} and the publishing now proceeds normally.

Not sure whether this change has any side effects, but it seems to me that the defect needs an expert opinion.

regards...
