Subject: [PATCH] activation: copy-account-skeletons: Make all copied skeletons
 writable.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Previously, copying skeleton ‘.config/nano/nanorc’ to user home won't make
‘~/.config/nano/nanorc’ writable.

* gnu/build/activation.scm (copy-account-skeletons)
[set-owner]: Make all copied skeleton writable.
Rename procedure to ‘set-permission’.
