|    Bug#1121422: btop: Set appropriate capab    |
|    12 Feb 26 03:00:01    |
      From: otto@debian.org              Hi,              The linked issue recommends running `sudo setcap cap_perfmon=ep       /usr/bin/btop` to set the capability for the binary.              I am not aware of how to set capabilities in Debian packaging. There       are no signs of any automated way to do it:              https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/debhelper/dh_installdeb.1.en.html       https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/manpages/capabilities.7.en.html       https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/libcap2-bin/setcap.8.en.html              I would rather not introduce custom mainters scripts to run misc shell       commands with security implications during install. Maybe we need to       wait for Debian to introduce some general capability management       facility in Debian packaging, like a debian/btop.setcap file etc.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
