Currently a draft pending #776 merge.

The github.com/moby/sys/capability package is a fork of the original
one, which is apparently no longer maintained.

For changes since the fork took place, see
https://github.com/moby/sys/blob/main/capability/CHANGELOG.md


Note that "workaround for RHEL6" is removed for a number of reasons.
Feel free to choose the one you like the most, either is sufficient:

  1. /proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap is available since RHEL 6.7
    (kernel 2.6.32-573.el6), released 9 years ago (2015-07-22).

  2. It incorrectly returns CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND (36), which was only added
    in kernel v3.5 and was never backported to RHEL6 kernels. The
    correct value for RHEL6 would be CAP_MAC_ADMIN (33).

  3. As far as upstream kernels go, /proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap was
    added in kernel v3.2, and a correct value depends on the kernel
    version. It could be CAP_WAKE_ALARM (35), added to kernel v3.0, or
    CAP_SYSLOG (34), added to kernel v2.6.38, or possibly a lesser value
    for even older kernels.

Found by golangci-lint v1.60.1:

cmd/oci-runtime-tool/main.go:59:17: printf: non-constant format string in call to github.com/sirupsen/logrus.Fatalf (govet)
		logrus.Fatalf(err.Error())
		              ^

Go 1.23 is released, making Go 1.21 (and older version) unsupported.
