Hello, as you may know, I'm working on porting some software services to Capsicum [1]. As of now, after struggling with the first project(porting bzip2 to Capsicum) for 3 weeks (that's 1 week late on the deadline), I managed to finish it. I had some design decisions done wrong, and tried to do something hard that wasn't needed (passing file descriptors through a UNIX-domain socket), that made me to lose a week. Finally, after a code cleanup, and some days, I managed to get the program working and compressing fine with Capsicum. And now, armed with all the past experience, I'm trying to port xz to Capsicum. I already finished limiting fd, but I now have to do a little architectural change in the program to get it to enter capability mode fine. The good thing is that thanks to the experience I had with the first program, and the readability of the xz code (its very easy to get the general architecture of the program) I am confident about making it through the deadline, even being a week late.
