Hi Peter,

In the CHANGES file in the source tarball setcap is mentioned twice:-

===== s20200821 =====
released August 21, 2020

* arping
- [security] disable setcap and setuid (prevent ARP Poisoning, issue: #203)

* Meson build system
- Allow to set using setcap-setuid.sh per application (commit: 054670a)

The setcap-setuid.sh script is in the build-aux directory in the source tarball. Maybe this script is what needs to be used now.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Adolf.
