Hi,Posix capabilities have been in the kernel for some time, but userspace support is lagging. "Install" is one such missing piece.
I suggest to add a "--capability" flag, with syntax taken from setcap. E.g.: sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /bin/ping would become (sudo) install --capability cap_net_raw+ep ping /bin/ping Thanks, Yaron
