Hi all,
So far, I'm done with the 'acl' module changes. Jim, for coreutils an
appropriate NEWS entry is:
Improved support for access control lists (ACLs): On MacOS X, Solaris 7..10,
HP-UX 11, Tru64, AIX, IRIX 6.5, and Cygwin, "ls -l" now displays the presence
of an ACL on a file through a '+' sign after the mode, and "cp -p" copies
ACLs.
But more testing is welcome, at least on the following platforms:
* MacOS X 10.4. I tested only on MacOS X 10.5.
* FreeBSD. I did not have access to a system with a mounted partition that
does support ACLs.
* Solaris 11. I tested only up to Solaris 10. Especially, try UFS, ZFS, and
NFSv4 mounts. Also, please try copying files from UFS partitions to ZFS /
NFSv4 or vice versa.
* IRIX 6.5. I did not have access to a system with a mounted partition that
does support ACLs.
* Cygwin. I tested only on a two-year old Cygwin.
Testing can mean one of two things:
1) Create a test directory:
./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --with-tests --dir=/tmp/testdir acl
and build it on the target system:
./configure
make
make check
For checks with a particular mounted partition, do
TMPDIR=/some/writeable/dir/on/that/partition make check
2) Build a coreutils snapshot that includes today's gnulib, and use the
programs "ls", "cp", "mv" on a regular basis.
If you want to know about the tools available to set ACLs on files, look
on for
Linux, FreeBSD setfacl
MacOS X chmod
Solaris setfacl, chmod
HP-UX setacl, chmod, chacl
AIX aclput, acledit
Tru64 setacl
IRIX chacl
