QtCreator: Deploy custom install target to Linux device with executable flags

[raven-worx]

Maybe anyone has already experience with it and can share his knowledge with me :)

i am trying to deploy a gdbserver executable (from a Windows machine to a Linux device).
I added the following install target lines which do deploy the executable but in the end it lacks the executable flags (since the file is copied from a Windows filesystem of course).

gdbserver.path = /tmp
gdbserver.files = $$PWD/gdbserver
gdbserver.CONFIG += executable
INSTALLS += gdbserver

I tried to add the "executable" flag to the CONFIG member, but it seems this is ignored by QtCreator when deploying. Setting the executable permissions works for the "target" install target, but i guess there is some implicit logic involved inside QtCreator.

Do i miss something? Or is it just not supported by QtCreator yet?

Yeah, Christian is very engaged. The Project Manager did a huge progress since he started working on it last year.
