Description Matthew Cline 2014-11-13 03:19:08 UTC

The RPM guide doesn't mention the "%caps" macro which can be used to set a file's POSIX capabilities (see http://linux.die.net/man/7/capabilities).  It should go in chapter 9, section 5.4, at URL http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/ch09s05s04.html

Comment 1 Petr Kovar 2017-12-14 10:27:22 UTC

The RPM Guide has been deprecated in favor of https://rpm-packaging-guide.github.io/.

Closing the issue here.
