Hi everyone,

If you don't know by now, you should know about an alternative way of doing PaX flag markings in Gentoo. All the pieces are in place except the eclass and you could start using it today, but it is unpolished. The best way to get to know what its all about is to help me with the documentation. I'll upload it after discussion. Its at

http://dev.gentoo.org/~blueness/zzz/pax-quickstart.xml

It describes pretty much anything. Give it a read and let me know what you think should be added. BTW, the very last tool described, migrate-pax, is still not on the tree. Its in the elfix repositorty but I'm working on it to add another option -d which will remove all XATTR_PAX markings from the system so one can un-migrate. By the end of the day that may already be in there :)
