Fixed, thanks for the heads-up!

(Unfortunately, this seems to break some aur helpers because they think the repository changed.)

PKGBUILD times out for me when building. Source url needs to be updated:

Hey, thanks for the heads-up ! I added a post-install script to set the capability. There was a pacman patch (https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2014-April/018998.html) that was supposed to let makepkg retain the file capabilities during packaging, but it apparently never made it into the main build.

Hi, A recent commit has switched from setuid root to a capability: https://github.com/traviscross/mtr/commit/9e4b090e856f0a89b4104e7cb440e4a90a17a853 However, it does not seem to work on my system: $ mtr www.example.com mtr: unable to get raw sockets. According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Capabilities the capability is missing: $ getcap /usr/bin/ping /usr/bin/ping = cap_net_raw+ep $ getcap /usr/bin/mtr $ So, the binary has no capability and is no longer setuid root, so it does not have enough permissions to work as non-root. Is it possible that makepkg removes capabilities when packaging? A workaround would be to add the capability in a post-install script.
