[PATCH 0/4] import libcap from packages feed

[Stijn Tintel]

Having libcap in OpenWrt base allows us to enable libcap support in
other packages in base.

In lldpd, this would allow the monitor process to drop its privileges
instead of running as root, improving security. It will also allow us to
drop our patch to disable libcap.

I suspect some people might counter this by saying lldpd belongs in the
packages feed; I strongly disagree as imo LLDP is an essential service
for any network device, and especially switches. Even the cheapest
managed switches support LLDP for more than 5 years already.

Also see: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3823#issuecomment-795174537
I'll bump lldpd to the latest version after this series is merged, and
debug the problem reported by John on the realtek target.

  libcap: import from packages feed
