Bug#99036: ITP: libcap2 -- support for POSIX.1e capabilities
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A
Severity: wishlist
I've confered with the libcap1 maintainer. He has no plans to maintain
libcap2, so I intend to take it.
Description: Support for POSIX.1e capabilities
This library provides interfaces to the POSIX 1003.1e capabilites
available in Linux kernels. These capabilities are a partitioning of
the all powerful root privilege into a set of distinct privileges.
Note that it will not provide any functionality with kernels below
2.2.
.
This version of libcap is a development snapshot. The stable version
is in libcap1.
