I recently downloaded libcap-1.10, and found a couple
of minor problems
in some header files. I downloaded from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/kernel-2.4/
so I'm pretty sure I have the most recent version.

1.10: #include nonsense

2001-02-19T20:26:49Z

Hi Andrew

I am the debian maintainer of libcap (version 1.10). A user send me the
following bugreport:
-----------------------8<----------------------------------
From: Robert Bihlmeyer <robbe at orcus.priv.at>

Compiling the following program with gcc -O fails, and I don't think
it should:

#include <string.h>
#include <sys/capability.h>
int main()
{
return 0;
}
-----------------------8<----------------------------------
I think it breaks, because sys/capability.h includes linux/capability.h
(and it works, if <sys/capability.h> is included before <string.h>).

Could you please coment on this?

thanks,
Michael

CVSROOT permission problem

2000-07-01T23:23:09Z

I've imported the libcap stuff into the CVS repository.
I'm also keen to check in a file-cap supporting revision
(in conjuction with an extended-attribute patch that I have)
but to do this I want to be able to use a branch.
Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of permission
issue with the CVSROOT directory:

[morgan@morgan-home libcap]$ cvs update -r libcap-pre2
cvs [server aborted]: cannot write /cvsroot/linux-privs/CVSROOT/val-tags: Permission denied

Cheers

Andrew

please set up a linux-privs-cvs-tracking mailing list

2000-06-28T20:28:44Z

I'd like to have all CVS commit information directed to an archived
mailing list. My experiences with CVS are that unless you make an
explicit effort to track commits to the CVS repository when there are
multiple, or busy, developers things rapidly become chaotic.

The suggested name for said mailing list is:

linux-privs-cvs-tracking

Thanks

Andrew
