+The libcap-ng library should make programming with posix capabilities
+easier. The library has some utilities to help you analyse a system
+for apps that may have too much privileges.
+
+NOTE: to distributions. There is a "make check" target. It only works
+if the headers match the kernel. IOW, if you have a chroot build system
+that is using a much older kernel, the macros in the kernel header files
+will do the wrong thing when the capng_init function probes the kernel
+and decides we are doing v1 rather than v3 protocol. If that is your case,
+just don't do the "make check" as part of the build process.
+
+Report any bugs in this package to sgrubb@redhat.com or better yet,
+file them here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/
