Re: Question regarding file capabilities being shipped in Core Updates

For completeness. This has been fixed in:

https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commitdiff;h=37ef9fe4e07a97d3597b...

The capabilities where set correctly, but strip removed them later and so nothing landed in the ISO or updater.

Hello *,

while working on bug #12652, I noticed we _did_ ship ping / iputils in Core Update 157. However, it seems as the capabilities set to /usr/bin/ping are not preserved that way.

Am I mistaken? Can we even use file capabilities in this environment?

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
