I don't think that chmod +w is a good idea in general. I don't like to see tools fiddeling with permissions without asking. We're working on a new release of rebase anyway. This new release checks for writability and prints just a warning without stopping dead in its track: /usr/bin/foo.dll: skipped because not writable That should be ok, shouldn't it? Otherwise, what we can do is to open the file with FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS. This would allow you to rebase DLLs without write permissions if you have admin privileges.
