Linux requires xattr names to start with "user." This fix allows autopkg on Linux to store extended attributes on downloaded files on some Linux-supported filesystems. ext4, for example, is known to work. Conversely, attempting to store extended attributes on files on NFS mounts is known to still fail.

Can you move this to the dev branch instead of master? Otherwise LGTM. |
