[arch-dev-public] About libcap
I just adopted libcap and realized that it is really out-dated. Any reason for us use libcap 1.10 and grab it from kernel-2.4? http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/ http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/libcap/ -- Hugo
Anyone? Currently these are the packages that requires libcap: * avahi * cdrkit * dovecot * muse * pinentry * pure-ftpd * samba * smbclient * terminatorx * vsftpd * wireshark I checked some others distros and they use libcap 1.10 too. The difference is that they have another package, called libcap2, for the newer version. Should we do it? Also, if we change the default libcap version all packages that requires it will, probably, need to be rebuilt. I do not have much knowledge about libcap, so i want to know what you guys think. -- Hugo

The question is, can we build all the above packages against libcap 2? If yes, there is no need for a separate package.
