chpax is used to mark the binaries for old style kernel (EI_PAX), paxctl |
| 13 |
for newer ones (PT_PAX). The files should have both markings, because we |
| 14 |
can't know which options you enabled in the kernel, or if you are |
| 15 |
intending to install your binary pkg on any other box (emerge -K) |
| 16 |
paxtest includes an own version of chpax (depending on the version of |
| 17 |
paxtest you used, that could be older than what is currently stable) and |
| 18 |
if you don't have chpax installed on your dev-box, it will build and use |
| 19 |
the internal one. |

|

chpax should be an RDEPEND and DEPEND, so it can be used in pkg_install |
| 22 |
and pkg_postinst for marking (pkg_postinst is needed because stripping |
| 23 |
binaries could remove the EI_PAX marking of the executables) |
