Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
last GSoC I developed an eclass for the handling of file-based |
4 |
capabilities [1]. One should be able to set file-caps for the binary from |
5 |
the src_install phase. The eclass handles the setting of the caps and |
6 |
also applies a fallback file-mode, if the caps-setting goes wrong. |
7 |
|

I would be happy, if you guys and gals could take a look at it, |
9 |
and review it :). |

|
11 |
It uses a new global use-flag (filecaps) so it wouldn't collide with |
12 |
the caps use-flag and the corresponding old handling of file-caps. |
13 |
|
14 |
The git repository, which also includes a manpage and some tests for the eclass, |
15 |
is available here [2]. |
16 |
I'm going to update the eclass with your patches there. |

Cheers, |
