Hi @LorencH ,   I'm of the opinion that if security is a concern (as it should be for any deployment) you should never rely on the permissions that come within the tarball. Your deployment procedure, automated or not, should always extract the files and explicitly "chown" and "chmod" the appropriate files to set the desired ownership and permissions.   I don't know of the reasons to eliminate the tarball, though.   Cheers, André   ...
