Meta-security and Meta-selinux both have libcap-ng. Instead of maintaining the same package in both places, can we get it into OE where libcap resides?
I think at very least you can propose it for meta-oe if not or-core.
I think core libcap-ng recipe belongs in a common layer and not maintained in two places.
But I also wonder why meta-selinux is not a sub-layer under meta-security,
meta-selinux existed first... no other reason.
The last time I looked at meta-security (well over a year ago), it wasn't terribly useful.
Well when a security package like 'snort' and maybe others are in other locations, I can see why meta-security won't be very useful.
It was just a random collection of
security-like packages, some worked, some didn't.
Hopefully that will change.

If it has grown since then to be more of a cohesive set of packages, then meta-selinux being part of it may make sense.
