Not setting for arping as it can be used for ARP Poisoning.

Use cap_net_raw+p (drop +e) as upstream sets that via
cap_set_flag(), see https://github.com/iputils/iputils/issues/194

So, now we set the capabilities to those exectuables, do they still need
to be setuid?

But then, if one really does not want xattr, setuid is still required.

So, we have no way to express that a file should have either setuid or
xattrs, except as a big if-block like:

    ifeq ($(BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE_SUPPORTS_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES),y)
    define IPUTILS_PERMISSIONS
        /usr/bin/clockdiff    f 0755 0 0 - - - - -
        |xattr cap_net_raw+p
    endef
    else
    define IPUTILS_PERMISSIONS
        /usr/bin/clockdiff    f 4755 0 0 - - - - -
    endef
    endif

... which is what we were trying to avoid in the firstplace...

We could write something like:

    /usr/bin/clockdiff    f $(MAYBE_SUID)755 0 0 - - - - -
    |xattr cap_net_raw+p

Where MAYBE_SUID would be set as:

    MAYBE_SUID = $(if $(BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE_SUPPORTS_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES),0,4)

But it is starting to be a bit more complex than what you initially
envisionned, I guess.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Good point, I fixed it in v5 (with whitespace).

Yep :(. But your solution is good enough, thank you!

Ah, yes, indeed.

Yes, but I believe it's the best solution for now, let's keep a
conditional like you're showing here. Which of course makes the change
to makedevs no longer relevant.

I really hope Petr is not going to hate us for all the discussion, back
and forth and change of mind/opinion about this topic :-/

Meh, no, please not like this.

Sure :). So merge the original version [1], related only to iputils?

No, not at all :).

Kind regards,

Not really, because your first iteration still kept the suid bit on the
orograms.

I'm intrigued why you could not use the ifeq(...) construct, though...
