Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
here is my second progress report. |
| 4 |
This week I had a lot of university-stuff to do, so my progress report |
| 5 |
is a little short. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
What did I do this week: |
| 8 |
I wrote a man-page for fcaps (with docbook and xslt), which required a |
| 9 |
bit of reading and try-and-error to get it done right :). |
| 10 |
I changed the format of fcaps a little bit, so more than one capability |
| 11 |
can be set. |
| 12 |
Finally I added capabilites for ping6 and traceroute6 to the |
| 13 |
net-misc/iputils ebuild, it is now setuid free. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Then I tested fcaps with net-misc/iputils with different file-systems: |
| 16 |
ext2, ext3, ext4 support capabilities, if CONFIG_EXT[2,3,4]_FS_XATTR is set. |
| 17 |
hfs/hfsplus (surprise, surprise ;)), reiserfs3 do not support capabilities. |
| 18 |
xfs, jfs support capabilities out of the box. |
| 19 |
|

My first mile-stone is due to next week, here is the corresponding |
| 21 |
excerpt from my proposal: |
| 22 |
May 24th to June 13th |
| 23 |
I will implement an alpha-version of the Capability-setting script, |
| 24 |
integrate it in portage and test it with the "net-misc/iputils"-ebuild. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
So that's it for now, if you have questions, suggestions or |
| 27 |
improvement-ideas, feel free to |
| 28 |
mail me or add a comment :). |
