Description:

The next version of community/firewalld will have an optional security feature that relies on the `capng` python module [1], and the latter is from python3 bindings of libcap-ng. It will be great if that can be enabled.

I attached PKGBUILD that works for me. Testing results with aur/firewalld-git:

$ pscap | grep firewalld
1 32835 root firewalld net_admin, net_raw +

[1] https://github.com/firewalld/firewalld/pull/825

Additional info:
libcap-ng 0.8.2-2
firewalld 1:r3352.fb0532e8-1 (from AUR, just as an example usage of the requested feature)

Steps to reproduce:
   PKGBUILD (1.5 KiB)
This task depends upon
