The installer respects the setting of umask.
Or do you think that the repository is unsafe? I don't think that
file permissions matter there at all because all files are in a
database and can't be accessed directly by people who have an account
at tug.org:
$ ls -ld /home/svn/texlive/db/
drwxrwsr-x 6 karl svn 4096 Aug 1 17:00 /home/svn/texlive/db/
Only people who have an svn account can change files in the
repository.
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
