I then have a script that is run as the deployer user to checkout config files from svn and copies it to /etc/httpd directory in the following way: cd /tmp/versioned-config; cp -Rfp --backup --suffix=.$(date +%F_%T) apache/etc/ /
However when I do that the ownership of the config files changes to deployer.deployer and it looses the special permissions...
I don't think that would be possible/secure... That would mean that the user 'deployer' could "create" files owned by someone else... Maybe try with something like the group sticky bit...
