The source files are owned by a normal user. When root unpacks the tar
ball to some public place, e.g. /usr/src or /tmp, normal users may have
write access to the source.
To correct this, run the following command before packing the source code
for publication:
chown -R root:root mc-x.y.z
chmod -R og-w mc-x.y.z
