Is there a way to get the Maven Deployer to set file permissions?

We’re using 1.0-milestone-8a with a maven deployer and the wagon scp protocol jar to upload artifacts to a server. I’d like to set the permissions on the file uploaded. In maven, this would be done with the servers/server/filePermissions element in settings.xml, but this doesn’t seem to work with gradle. I see GRADLE-1039 which seems to have been out there for a long time and is still unresolved. Does anyone know of a workaround for setting the file permissions when using the wagon scp protocol jar for artifact deployment?

It’s unlikely we’d support this via supporting the maven way of using ‘settings.xml’ as it leads to non portable builds.

That said, we should have a solution for doing this. Right now, you’d have to ssh in after the upload and change them manually (you could use the ssh ant task).
