Hi,

Last week I added some code to set filecaps in the apache2.eclass which
ended up breaking because in some cases because FILECAPS would be
empty. This happens because the fcaps eclass assumes that FILECAPS is
not empty and will call fcaps regardless.

This can obviously be fixed in the calling code, but I was wondering if
we should not fix this in fcaps.eclass by checking for an empty array.
I wanted to discuss this because I'm not sure what is considered to be
more important: allow for optional FILECAPS, or make it clear that
FILECAPS has not been set (by crashing).

I'd be happy to provide a patch if there is some consensus on this.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/930821 for reference.

Kind regards,

Hans
