Hi,
As suggested by Wojciech Myrda in bug 659486 [1], it would be helpful if
sys-fs/e2fsprogs would use the linux-info eclass to warn if the kernel
configuration doesn't include CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y when the user
has expressed a desire to use file capabilities. This idea can be
extended to any ebuild that provides an mkfs.* program. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Zac

I like this idea. We should do it.
