I still think it belongs in oe-core. Wenzong, Can you try to build up a case for that? If I look at the dependencies on Ubuntu-15.04: Reverse Depends: qemu-system-common,libcap-ng0 libvirt0,libcap-ng0 libvirt-bin,libcap-ng0 libcap-ng0:i386,libcap-ng0 0.7.4-2 libcap-ng0:i386,libcap-ng0 0.7.4-2 suricata,libcap-ng0 libcap-ng-utils,libcap-ng0 0.7.4-2 ladvd,libcap-ng0 heimdal-kdc,libcap-ng0 audispd-plugins,libcap-ng0 smartmontools,libcap-ng0 qemu-system-common,libcap-ng0 libvirt0,libcap-ng0 libvirt-bin,libcap-ng0 libcap-ng-dev,libcap-ng0 0.7.4-2 irqbalance,libcap-ng0 gnome-keyring,libcap-ng0 dbus-1-dbg,libcap-ng0 dbus,libcap-ng0 note that pkgs in: meta-virtualization: irqbalance, libvirt, more? meta-selinux: audit meta-security-framework: audit could drop the local versions of libcap-ng and use the oe-core libcap-ng. Please check on the actual source/configure options so that we(I!!) get a better understanding of where libcap vs libcap-ng is used. In fact, since meta-security-framework isn't using selinux, I'd say that both audit and libcap-ng should both move to oe-core. Thanks, ../Randy > > Wenzong -- # Randy MacLeod.
