[PATCH v2 0/1] uapi: fix broken link in linux/capability.h

Wed Jul 2 10:00:20 UTC 2025

Hello,

This patch fixes a broken link to the libcap library. The old link is outdated:

> $ curl "https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/kernel-2.6/"
>
> <html>
> <head><title>Index of /pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/kernel-2.6/</title></head>
> <body>
> <h1>Index of /pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/kernel-2.6/</h1><hr><pre><a href="../">../</a>
> </pre><hr></body>
> </html>

Moreover the patch gives the full reference of the compliance with POSIX.

The README of libcap2 says it is based on Draft 15 [1]; but, as far as I could see, only copies of Draft 17 exist online [2, 3].

Your feedback is much appreciated,
Ariel
