File Permission chmod

You need to be cautious when setting the file permission because the value expected is in base 10 and not in base 8 (which is the standard)

Example when copying file into a distribution (ie archive).

into("/bin") {
        from("${buildDir}/scripts") {
          fileMode = Integer.parseInt("755", 8) // or 493 which is 755 base 8 in base 10
          dirMode = Integer.parseInt("750", 8)
        }
}
