In case the package manager has trouble with attributes (or the target |
| 11 |
filesystem does not support them) a way to keep the system running |
| 12 |
would be to apply the capabilities during src_install and have the |
| 13 |
eclass check during pkg_postinst, eventually retrying and finally |
| 14 |
falling back to suid at that point. |
| 15 |
Even binpkg would be handled that way. |

For this to work the eclass would have to remember the list of files |
| 18 |
from src_install until pkg_postinst so that it can do all the work once |
| 19 |
again (with a single call from the ebuild). |
