These may partially or completely subvert the POSIX permissions. Since you've re-created the directory, these ACL are most likely inherited ACL (applied from directories further up in the hierarchy). > Would it be possible to have a more detailed reporting of the problem?

Me neither and I've been using that same setup at work for months without any such problems. Only org-install.el seems to be read-only however, while org-version.el (which is created by the same method) is not, which makes this even more puzzling... But here's one other oddity in your log which may be able to explain it: > Loading vc-svn... It looks like lisp (or all of org probably) is both under SVN and Git version control... That is a Bad Idea™ and might explain why the buffer becomes read-only if org-install.el is already registered in SVN (which doesn't allow non-check-out files to be edited). So can you please remove the Git work tree completely from SVN or just install in a pristine location? > Other question: why do we have to make org-install.el?

The generated files might be included in distribution archives, Bastien and I are currently thinking about that.
