This program fixes password prompt spam in GPU Screen Recorder when used from flatpak.
This program is meant to be ran with flatpak-spawn --host. This program is not meant to be run by the user and is automatically launched from GPU Screen Recorder flatpak.
When this program is first run, it executes itself with pkexec and in that case it sets CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability on itself
after copying self to ~/.local/share/gpu-screen-recorder and launches gsr-kms-server (in flatpak location).
When this program is run after that it will check if its run from ~/.local/share/gpu-screen-recorder or launch that and it will see that the program has CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability
and will launch gsr-kms-server (in flatpak location). This program also sets CAP_SYS_ADMIN on gsr-kms-server in the flatpak app directory.
The reason all of this is needed is because `setcap cap_sys_admin+ep gsr-kms-server` can't be done in the flatpak because of sandboxing so this is only done when you install GPU Screen Recorder
from source/aur to workaround that limitation.
The depends directory contains libcap from the libcap project, available here: https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/libcap2/. The version used is libcap-2.69.
