Subject: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] Make "seccomp" USE flag global

1 Hello,
2
3 at this moment 8 packages uses "seccomp" flag:
4
5 app-admin/clsync
6 app-emulation/qemu
7 app-emulation/lxc
8 net-dns/bind
9 net-misc/tlsdate
10 net-misc/tor
11 net-misc/lldpd
12 sys-apps/systemd
13
14 for the very same reason: enable seccomp filtering to improve
15 security. Some of them use seccomp directly via system calls, while
16 other rely on sys-libs/libseccomp, but this should have no
17 difference for users.
18
19 I propose to add global "seccomp" USE flag as follows:
20
21 seccomp - Enable seccomp for system call filtering
22
23 and remove local descriptions for affected packages.
24
25 Comments?

27 Best regards,
