Bad permissions on files and directories in zipfile. #98

Description
It appears the permissions on all files and directories in the release file are 666 (-rw-rw-rw-), which means that:

  1. All users can read and write everything in the pigallery2 directory
  2. You cannot enter the directories because the executable bit is unset

Examples
Here are examples demonstrating the problem with the directory permissions. They were run inside the pigallery2 directory which I setup according to the instructions:

cd ~
wget https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2/releases/download/1.7.0/pigallery2.zip
unzip pigallery2.zip -d pigallery2
cd pigallery2
$ ls -l
total 224

cat: backend/Logger.js: Permission denied

Workaround
This fixed the permissions and allowed me to run npm start successfully:

for i in 1 2 3 4; do
  find -maxdepth $i -type d | xargs chmod u+x,g+x # find cannot read at depth N+1 until depth N has correct permissions
done

chmod -R o-w .
