Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] security: introduce file posix caps

Hi, Serge.

I packaged the xattr extension of libcap, get/setfcaps command and
manual pages with original libcap-1.10-25.
See, http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php?FrontPage#b556e50d

You can download RPM and SRPM package for the latest FC6 system.
There are no difference at its functionality, but the part of xattr
extension is moved into /lib/libcap.so.1.

Thanks,
