#42986: openal-soft @1.15.1: complains about pulseaudio (@5.0) not being built with capabilities support -------------------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: egall@… | Owner: ionic@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: openal-soft pulseaudio | -------------------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by ionic@…): Be careful. Capabilities does not refer to FS capabilities support only. It also refers to running "arbitrary" functions/programs with elevated privileges. Those are mostly granted via setting capabilities on binaries, but I guess there are other ways, too. `CAP_NET_ADMIN` is widely used to let users change network interfaces. PulseaAudio is probably interested in `CAP_SYS_NICE` or `CAP_SYS_RESOURCE` for real-time support. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42986#comment:20> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
