and git am will not like fuzz that much. So I prefer to have patches
against the upstream GIT repository and not the Fedora tree.

According to the bug you guys have open for this, you try to fix this
upstream in libcap-ng. So please push a pkgconfig file to libcap-ng and
then I am more than happy to accept a patch for this.

I like to have capability dropping in bluetoothd, but I do wanna do it
with a proper upstream project. And not having pkgconfig support in
library is just not cutting it anymore. Since the project seems to be
maintained by you, it should be easy to fix ;)
