Description Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev

sys-apps/openrc currently has a USE flag to control whether capabilities are supported by start-stop-daemon and supervise-daemon.

Making this feature optional makes very little sense. It means init scripts must be written to account for the possibility of missing capabilities support. See bug 939471 as an example.

I think libcap is a very lightweight dependency.

Please consider enabling capabilities support unconditionally, at least in Gentoo.

This is fixed and will be released in 0.56.

Thanks,
