During the installation step, a symlink for xasy.py is created to the bin directory that is not executable. Are there any way to prevent or can you add an option to avoid it? Homebrew allows to install executables only in the bin directory and so I wish to find a way. Thanks,

Are you asking us to install xasy.py with permission -m 755? We can (and should) certainly do that.
The symlink is necessary to add the command xasy, so we wouldn't want to get rid of that.

Sorry for confusion, it is just about the executable permission. Your first sentence is right.
