According to the Debian policy manual:

Shared libraries should not be installed executable, since the dynamic linker does not require this and trying to execute a shared library usually results in a core dump."

The Travis build failed with:

Cloning into 'BVLC/caffe'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/BVLC/caffe.git/': Couldn't resolve host 'github.com'

Can someone restart it please?

It looks like @cdluminate is using the CMake build for debian packaging in #2601.
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/caffe.git/tree/debian/rules

CMake already does this correctly.

@lukeyeager Yes, using CMake for Debian packaging.

By my side, the mode of shared lib doesn't disturb since

  • CMake handles shared lib mode.
  • dh_fixperms will fix it if anything wrong according to Policy.
    (the permission checker in debian packaging suite)

FYI: Generally .so permission is Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--).
